My Mum was almost drowned by her first husband in the 60s but she escaped and got help. The police were called and my mum returned to the house to get some clothes, she was soaking wet, clearly traumatised and the policemen were laughing and joking with her husband on the doorstep, one copper laughing as he said, I bet that shook her up. This was one of many incidents.

Very few people actually wanted to help in those days and even fewer people could help. My mum couldn't get a tenancy as a single mum and wasn't allowed to buy anything on HP because businesses didn't like doing trade with divorced women. I'm glad this has been highlighted here, it often annoys me how they show everyone as enlightened back then, when they weren't. Lots of women suffered needlessly

Total nightmare, but I can sometimes detect the coppers behaviour below the surface, they say all the right things but deep down they are thinking "you probably deserved a hiding you Tart" lookf at that multiple sick rapist who was in the Met for years, he was probably their hero!! Its still a man's world.

Yes, lots of them are perpetrators of DV themselves, and they cover it up for each other. A super complaint was made in March 2020 about it. It's disgusting that the people who are supposed to protect us don't really care about protecting us
