ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

With thanks to the Media and Information Service of the Strathclyde Police Department, Glasgow Women's Aid Collective and Ian Mitchell and Jon Redshaw of the Durham Constabulary for their invaluable help in researching this book. Further thanks are due to Rachel Calder, Marina Cianfanelli and Katrina Whone for their encouragement and guidance, without which I would have given up. Most of all to Stephen Evans for his grace, patience and good humor during months of early-morning typing feet away from the bed in which he was trying to sleep.
