Duration: 1 x 60'
Play Trailer Play Screener Contact SalesJournalist Daisy Maskell investigates why partner abuse is surging amongst the under 30's age group, meeting victim-survivors and hearing how inexperience, childhood exposure, and social media are all making young people more vulnerable.
Shocking new data showing reports of an abusive partner to the police from a younger generation have almost tripled in the last 10 years.
With analysis of two million police reports, and a survey of almost a thousand victim-survivors, Daisy investigates why partner abuse is on the rise among young people, and asks what can be done.
She meets victim-survivors to learn about the devastating toll of abuse, and hears how inexperience, childhood exposure, and social media - which sometimes normalises and even romanticises abuse - are all making young people more vulnerable.
Together with her boyfriend, she launches a bold experiment to explore the powers of stalkerware: hidden apps used by abusers to secretly tap into their victims’ phones and spy on them 24/7. We reveal that police have seen a massive increase in complaints about this technology in the last three years.
