Publisher Description
Domestic abuse is a national emergency: one in four Australian women has experienced violence from a man she was intimate with. But too often we ask the wrong question: why didn’t she leave? We should be asking: why did he do it?
Investigative journalist Jess Hill puts perpetrators – and the systems that enable them – in the spotlight. See What You Made Me Do is a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience – abuse that is often reinforced by the justice system they trust to protect them. Critically, it shows that we can drastically reduce domestic violence – not in generations to come, but today.
Combining forensic research with riveting storytelling, See What You Made Me Do radically rethinks how to confront the national crisis of fear and abuse in our homes.
‘A shattering book: clear-headed and meticulous, driving always at the truth’—Helen Garner
‘One Australian a week is dying as a result of domestic abuse. If that was terrorism, we’d have armed guards on every corner.’ —Jimmy Barnes
‘Confronting in its honesty this book challenges you to keep reading no matter how uncomfortable it is to face the profound rawness of people’s stories. Such a well written book and so well researched. See What You Made Me Do sheds new light on this complex issue that affects so many of us.’—Rosie Batty
Customer Reviews
A book every single person should read
An eye opener, excellently written
Hugely informative
I took a long time to read this book, as I found it so harrowing. However, it is so well researched and well written I’d recommend it to everyone. The stories about the actions of the Family Court are horrifying, but the communities that have made changes give me hope.
DIRELY NEEDED!
I’ve already gifted this book countless times before even getting half way through. I wish I had a bottomless pit of money to buy one for everyone I’ve ever met.
This book NEEDS to be added to educational curriculum world-over. Domestic Abuse (DA) is something whole communities are accountable for. Everyone can do their bit. DA needs to stop and it needs to stop NOW. Get behind this book & the ideas within. Let it begin with all of us. Thank you, Jess Hill. G-d bless you & all who sail in you. Tziporah Malkah
