💨 Abstract

The article discusses the normalization of strangulation in media and its dangerous implications. The author recalls scenes from TV shows like "EastEnders" where strangulation was depicted casually, contributing to its normalization. The UK is amending laws to criminalize pornography depicting strangulation, aiming to protect victims and prevent the spread of violent content. The article highlights the severe health risks and prevalence of strangulation in domestic abuse cases.
