Our research on strangulation laws & intimate partner homicides (shorturl.at/KtllH) is cited in a cross-party @parliament.scot motion for a standalone non-fatal strangulation offence (shorturl.at/4cdRs).

Revised WP:

-Non-fatal strangulation laws ⬇️ both female- & male-victim IP homicides (IPH).
-US states that adopt NFS laws: ⬇️ IPH rates (14–27%), ⬆️ IPV assaults classified as aggravated, ⬆️ arrests.
-Clearer legal framework stops escalation & save lives.
