About this episode

Pete Bates discusses his mission to prevent violence against women and the challenges faced by long-term prisoners transitioning back into society.

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Unfortunately, we don't hear many stories about long-term prisoners successfully transitioning back into society, but we have one for you today. Pete Bates runs The Pete Bates Project, a fast-growing platform dedicated to exposing coercive control, post-separation abuse, and the behavioural patterns that put women and children at risk. He joins us to talk about his mission.
