Understanding the red flags: Signs of intimate partner violence explained by an expert

May 9, 2024

1 min

Intimate partner violence is a serious and widespread issue that affects millions of individuals every year.

Angela Hattery, professor of women and gender studies at the University of Delaware and co-director of its Center for the Study & Prevention of Gender-Based Violence, can talk about ways to spot warning signs in an effort to prevent further harm and provide support to those in need.

"When we think about the warning signs, especially for progressing to lethal

violence, the absolute top early warning sign is strangulation,” Hattery recently said to The 19th, a nonprofit newsroom focused on women and LGBTQ+ people.

In an article on the recent passing of O.J. Simpson, she noted that "the Simpson trial was a missed opportunity" and "While the nation debated Simpson’s guilt or innocence, it overlooked the signs of intimate partner violence that his wife had reported before her murder."

Hattery's expertise has appeared in a number of outlets including The Conversation and New York Public Radio, an NPR affiliate. She can be reached by clicking her "View Profile" button.

UD’s happiness expert appears on NPR's Hidden Brain to explain importance of a helping hand in a stressed-out America

Happiness isn’t just about chasing big, exciting moments. A lot of the science points to the smaller, everyday things that help people feel connected, calm and grounded. Simple habits like helping others when we see them struggling create a bigger impact than we often expect. University of Delaware's resident "happiness expert" Amit Kumar, a psychologist and assistant professor of marketing in UD's Lerner College of Business & Economics, appeared on NPR's Hidden Brain to discuss that very topic. Kumar discusses why sometimes it feels like we can't help others and how we can surmount those fears to build strong connections and also feel a greater sense of happiness.
