The Impact of Family Members’ Involvement in the Domestic Violence Death Review Process

Abstract

The murders of my sister Julia Pemberton and her son William (Walker et al. 2008: 24) in 2003, at the hand of Alan Pemberton, husband and father, thrust me into developing the death review process in England and Wales. Drawing on the knowledge and experience I gained in this area, this chapter will describe the interaction of families with this process, and specifically, Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs). It will highlight the important role families play in these reviews, how they and the review are impacted by the process, and the differing outcomes that can be expected. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
