    #202 Crimecon Session With SIO Colin Sutton - Coercive or Controlling Behaviour Legislation

    In 2015, The Serious Crime Act was updated to include the Coercive or Controlling Behaviour legislation. In discussion with retired Senior Investigating Officer Colin Sutton, we discuss how this legislation could have changed notable cases from Sutton's career, including those highlighted in the hit TV series "The Real Manhunter". This talk includes a recent study conducted by The Family Survival Trust with help from Alexandra Stein which you can find here - https://www.thefamilysurvivaltrust.org/_files/ugd/b17260_69b0d1c7ce134d44b7fe2aab640e567d.pdfGet in Touch or Support -Patreon - patreon.com/thecultvaultCult Vault Shop - cultvaultpodcast.com/shopCrimecon UK 2022 - https://www.crimecon.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cultvaultpod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/CultVaultPodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/Cult-VaultGmail: cultvaultpodcast@gmail.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/cultvaultpodcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Compassion & Concern

The easy listening of this podcast sneaks up on you as the content is so educational through a very compassionate host. She asks the questions we would be having if we had the opportunities to have a cup of coffee or cup of tea with the amazing guests- that she continues to have on this podcast. Going back & listening to as many as I can now any chance I get.

Fantastic

I just found this pod and listened to the John Verner series. This is so good and love the discussion and (in the US) nice to find one overseas for a bot further reaching guests and topics

All

I enjoyed the podcast until she gets political. She doesn’t have a clue what she’s talking about and is completely “woke”. Which I find ironic because being “ woke” is totally cultish.
