Connections with Renee Shaw

T.K. Logan, a domestic violence researcher at the University of Kentucky, and Teri Faragher, a social worker in Lexington, who each serve on the Lexington Domestic Violence Prevention Board, discuss the fear, anxiety, and economic harm that victims of stalking experience, and describe how children are used as tools and why many victims don't report the crime. Also offering their insights are Mary Lynn Houlihan, the director of victims' services for the Fayette County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, and Dina Abby Bartlett, an attorney who serves as a consultant with the Louisville-based Mary Byron Project.
