Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault in the Sporting World:
Here’s the first article of a three-part series that addresses some difficult questions about domestic violence in the sporting world and beyond. Part I is addresses the mishandling of domestic violence cases, setting the stage for the following installments to address the challenges faced in prosecuting crimes against women and hopefully some constructive suggestions for moving in a positive direction on this vital issue.
I just finished the 1st of a 3 part series on DV & sexual assault in sports. Hope you’ll take a few minutes to read.https://t.co/DvM8e8j1Iz
