Dr Charlotte Bishop

Charlotte Bishop is Lecturer in Law at Exeter University where she teaches on the Criminal Law and Gender, Sexuality and Law modules. Charlotte's research looks broadly at the legal response to domestic violence and she is currently researching how the new criminal offence of coercive and controlling behaviour can be evidenced in criminal court proceedings. She is also working on recommendations for reforms to the pre-trial procedures and special measures provisions used in criminal proceedings where the witness is also a victim of domestic violence, based on the, insufficiently recognised, link between ongoing abuse and trauma.
