It is ALL MEN
from Hawk Podcasts Hosted by Hawk
Hawk shares global statistics on intimate partner violence and femicide, noting that roughly 140 women per day are murdered by romantic partners or family members worldwide, and that women face intimate partner homicide at a rate ten times higher than men in the United States. Drawing on three real cases from his early legal career in Mansfield, Ohio, Hawk describes clients who had active restraining orders and still lost their lives. One woman died when her husband filled their home with gas and she unknowingly lit a candle. Another was beaten to death in a parking lot with a tire iron. A third was shot in front of her five children by a husband who borrowed a weapon from a sheriff's deputy who was fully aware of the restraining order and domestic violence charges. The cases raise serious questions about how courts and law enforcement handle firearms in domestic violence situations, how dangerous separation can be for women, and what patterns of male violence against women reveal about systemic failure.

What this episode covers
Hawk, a former attorney who practiced family law in rural Ohio, recounts the murder-suicide of Justin Fairfax, the former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, who shot and killed his wife, Dr. Serena Fairfax, in their home while their teenage children were present. The family court had documented his erratic behavior, heavy drinking, unpaid bills, falsified assault allegations against his wife, and his possession of a firearm, yet never ordered him to surrender it.
