Roll Call Training: Strangulation Investigations

35 minutes

Publication Date: 2021

The use of strangulation as a form of domestic violence is an undeniable red flag for future violence and homicide—not only for the victim, but our communities as a whole. This crime is too often overlooked due to elusive evidence and the already complicated dynamics of domestic violence crimes. This training explores this topic in response to the imperative that our criminal justice system has the training and tools to hold society’s most dangerous offenders accountable. (Note: this free training is geared towards Texas law enforcement, but is useful for any for any practitioners dedicated to eradicating violence against women.)
