💨 Abstract

The article, written by the Communications Manager of the Institute for Addressing Strangulation (IFAS), discusses the underrepresentation of the true horror of strangulation in popular media. The author recounts personal experiences with TV scenes depicting strangulation, noting the glossing over of trauma and long-term harm. Strangulation often occurs in domestic abuse and violence, leading to severe injuries and even death. Research highlights the alarming prevalence of strangulation in UK domestic abuse cases and subsequent deaths.
