‘Introduction to Non-Fatal Strangulation Prosecution’ offered online

The Prosecuting Attorney Association of Michigan’s Violence Against Women Project will present the online training “Introduction to Non-Fatal Strangulation Prosecution” on Tuesday, February 27, from 1 to 4 p.m. via Zoom.

Women who have been strangled by an intimate partner are 10 times more likely to be killed by that offender than when a different form of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been inflicted.

Anyone new to prosecuting IPV cases or who wishes to learn more about non-fatal strangulation cases can join PAAM's Violence Against Women Project training attorney Dana Deasy for a webinar discussing non-fatal strangulation. This training is for prosecutors. Law enforcement is welcome to join.
