HOMICIDE & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: WARNING SIGNS THAT CAN TURN DEADLY
What happens when domestic violence escalates—and what warning signs should we never ignore?
Join me, Angeline Constantinou, LIVE for Episode 205 of Let's Break the Silence with Angeline for a powerful and necessary conversation with nationally recognized criminologist, professor, author, radio host and media contributor Dr. Debbie Goodman.
Dr. Goodman is an Associate Professor in the Criminal Justice degree program at St. Thomas University in Miami, Florida and host of Crime Time with Dr. Debbie. She has provided expert commentary and analysis on numerous high-profile criminal cases.
In this episode, we're taking a deeper look at homicide through the lens of criminology and domestic violence—not to sensationalize tragedy, but to educate, create awareness and encourage prevention.
🎙️ WE'LL DISCUSS:
• What homicide actually means from a criminologist's perspective
• The difference between homicide and murder
• Why some violent situations escalate
• Domestic violence and potentially deadly patterns
• Warning signs that should not be ignored
• Coercive control, threats, stalking and intimidation
• Why asking “Why didn't she just leave?” misses the complexity of abuse
• How the media portrays high-profile homicide cases
• What families, friends and communities can do when someone says, “I'm afraid.”
• Awareness, prevention and hope
As a domestic violence survivor, this conversation is deeply connected to why I created Let's Break the Silence.
We have to be willing to talk about the difficult subjects.
Because silence doesn't create awareness.
Conversation does.
Education does.
And when someone tells us they are afraid, we need to listen.
💗 REAL TALK. REAL STORIES. REAL HEALING.
