That paper discussed how economic abuse is a frequent, yet under-researched tactic of violence. Financial issues, including the prospect of leaving property or assets behind, are major factors in women’s decisions about leaving or staying in violent relationships, and the economic difficulties arising from violence, including loss of wealth upon separation, reverberate through women’s lives and increase hardship in the long-term. The Landscapes paper also highlighted evidence of
inadequacies in the systems intended to identify, prevent and respond to the economic harms arising from violence.
This report builds on the Landscapes paper with new statistical analysis and qualitative evidence. (From the Introduction). A summary Compass report (#5249) is also available. Record #5250
