Domestic Abuse and Hate Crime Cases

The first page examines two significant criminal cases that shaped public understanding of domestic abuse and racial hate crime in the UK. The cases demonstrate the devastating consequences of violence and the importance of proper law enforcement response.

Example: The domestic abuse case study Clare Wood from 2009 highlights how concealed violent histories can lead to tragic outcomes. Clare Wood was murdered by her ex-partner George Applewood, who had hidden his previous convictions for violence against women.

Highlight: Greater Manchester Police's inadequate response to Clare Wood's complaints and their failure to properly share information about Applewood's violent history contributed to the tragic outcome.

Definition: Racially motivated hate crime refers to criminal acts committed against individuals based on their racial or ethnic background.

Quote: "It was 2005 and individuals were still being murdered based on the colour of their skin; in addition, the manner in which Walker was killed also affected people as it was so brutal and violent."

Vocabulary: Opportunistic crime - a crime committed when a chance presents itself, rather than being planned in advance.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
