Unrestrained: Failing to protect women from intimate partner violence aired Saturday November 14th on CTV Katreena Scott, the Director of the Centre for Research and Education on Violence Against Women and Children at Western University research shows that violating a court order is a huge red flag for intimate partner femicide. Scott states "that we know that each one of those violations, increases risk for a subsequent assault; it's a strong risk factor. It is associated w...ith about a 2.5 times increased likelihood of a re-assault." Unrestrained featured details on the #femicides of Cara Cochran and Darian Henderson-Bellman; two women both living in separate parts of Ontario, two women whose lives were ended by their intimate partners. Please note, that this episode of CTV W5 shares details of the women's stories, that may be graphic in nature.
