Two Decades on the Front Lines in the Struggle Against Domestic Violence
February 14, 2007
A public lecture by Susan Brasier
Friday Feb. 16th, 2007
4pm in HHLT
Free. All are welcome.
Ms Brasier, an attorney from Dayton, Ohio, has devoted nearly twenty years to work in the area of domestic violence, both representing victims in civil cases, and as a prosecutor. Approaches for the prosecution of cases in which the victims refuse to cooperate as well as policies and practices which she had developed have become widely used in Ohio, as a result of the training that Ms Brasier has done for the Ohio Attorney General’s office and various police and community associations. Ms Brasier also addresses domestic violence as a human rights issue and the hopes for safer, more peaceful, and more civil communities.
(Arrangements are being made for a group of students to meet with our speaker informally, probably over lunch on Friday. If you would like to be included, please let me know!)
