Domestic violence: 8 in 10 female prisoners in Scotland ‘previously endured substantial head injuries’ Maya Oppenheim © Provided by The Independent
Around eight in ten women prisoners in Scotland previously suffered a substantial head injury, a troubling new report has found.
The study, conducted by the University of Glasgow, discovered two thirds of female inmates had sustained repeated wounds to the head over a period of many years.
Head injuries can have long-lasting repercussions on an individual’s cognition and behaviour as well as making people less able to cope with feelings of anger.
Researchers, whose findings were published in the
Lancet Psychiatry, found most incidents had been perpetrated by domestic abusers, with around nine in ten prisoners who were subjected to recurrent head injuries saying it was the result of domestic violence.
