Do you know the #8stepstomurder?
Have you told your daughters?

1) Pre relationship history - stalking, ‘psycho ex’ stories, criminal hx of DV or #CoerciveControl

2) Love bombing. Early commitment, possessiveness and relationship progression

@jessradio @HayleyFoster_ /1

Next steps on the #HomicideTimeline

3) Coercive control - isolating woman from family/friends, controlling movements and money, threats

4) A trigger to threaten control - relationship ends, money worries, extreme jealousy

5) Escalation of control - stalking, suicide threats /2

Build up to homicide

6) Perpetrator changes thinking - may be leaving, revenge or murder

7) Planning to kill - acquire weapons, arrange contact with woman

8) Extreme violence, suicide or murder. Victim may be woman and/or her children

Keep yourself safe. Any relationship heading along the #8stepstomurder trajectory is dangerous. Step 1 may be hidden or missing.

Intervene at any point to prevent murder. Seek help to leave men who display these characteristics
