Story5 out of 5 stars 6
One Australian woman is hospitalised every three hours and two more lose their lives each week as a result of family violence. But for some women there is a punishment far more enduring than injury or their own death. Look What You Made Me Do is a timely exploration of the evil inflicted by vengeful fathers who have killed their own children simply to punish partners for ending unrewarding, often abusive relationships.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 49
For more than two years, BBC Radio 4's The Archers ran a disturbing storyline centred on Helen Tichener's abuse at the hands of her husband Rob. Not the kind of abuse that leaves a bruise, but the sort of coercive control that breaks your spirit and makes it almost impossible to walk away. As she listened to the unfolding story, Helen Walmsley-Johnson was forced to confront her own agonising past. Helen's first husband controlled her life, from the people she saw to what was in her bank account.

I Don't presents an inarguable case against marriage for modern women. With the incisive attention to detail and razor sharp wit that has characterised her work, Ford examines a broad range of topics, including the patriarchal history of marriage; the insidious and centuries long marketing campaign pop culture has conducted in marriage's favour; the illusion of feminist 'choice' in regard to taking men's names; the physical and social cost that comes with motherhood; and what a different kind of world could look like for women who were allowed to truly be free.

Evan Stark, founder of one of America's first battered women's shelters, shows how "domestic violence" is neither primarily domestic nor necessarily violent, but a pattern of controlling behaviors more akin to terrorism and hostage-taking. Drawing on court records, interviews, and FBI statistics, Stark details coercive strategies that men use to deny women their very personhood, from "beeper games" to food logs to micromanaging dress, speech, sexual activity, and work.

The twentieth century for Palestine and the Palestinians has been a century of denial: denial of statehood, denial of nationhood and denial of history. The Hundred Years War on Palestine is Rashid Khalidi's powerful response. Drawing on his family archives, he reclaims the fundamental right of any people: to narrate their history on their own terms. Beginning in the final days of the Ottoman Empire, Khalidi reveals nascent Palestinian nationalism and the broad recognition by the early Zionists of the colonial nature of their project.

A well-established legal doctrine that a defendant must 'take their victim as they find them'. If a single punch kills someone because of their thin skull, that victim's weakness cannot mitigate the seriousness of the crime. But what if it also works the other way? What if a defendant on trial for sexual crimes has to accept his 'victim' as she comes: a strong, determined accuser who knows the legal system, who will not back down until justice is done? Bri Lee began her first day of work at the Queensland District Court as a bright-eyed judge's associate. Two years later she was back as the complainant in her own case.

Tara Costigan was the woman next door. A hard worker. Quick to laugh and easy to like. She was happy, confident, strong. A woman who always looked after herself and her kids. Close with her family and her friends, she was much loved. Then, in 2013, she met Marcus Rappel. A local tradie, he was charming and sincere, they dated and fell in love. That should have been the end of a happy-ever-after story. But for Tara, it was much uglier. And for her family it would be devastating.

Well worth the credit

Publisher's Summary
At the office of Safe Steps, Victoria's dedicated 24/7 family violence response call centre, phone counsellors receive a call every three minutes. Many women are repeat callers - on average, they will go back to an abusive partner eight times before leaving for good. 'You must get so frustrated when you think a woman's ready to leave and then she decides to go back,' I say. 'No,' replies one phone counsellor, pointedly. 'I'm frustrated that even though he promised to stop, he chose to abuse her again.'
Domestic abuse is a national emergency: one in four Australian women has experienced violence from a man she was intimate with. But too often we ask the wrong question: why didn’t she leave? We should be asking: why did he do it?
Investigative journalist Jess Hill puts perpetrators - and the systems that enable them - in the spotlight. See What You Made Me Do is a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience - abuse that is often reinforced by the justice system they trust to protect them. Critically, it shows that we can drastically reduce domestic violence - not in generations to come, but today.
Combining forensic research with riveting story-telling, See What You Made Me Do radically rethinks how to confront the national crisis of fear and abuse in our homes.
Winner of the 2020 Stella Prize.
Critic Reviews
"A shattering book: clear-headed and meticulous, driving always at the truth." (Helen Garner)
"One Australian a week is dying as a result of domestic abuse. If that was terrorism, we’d have armed guards on every corner." (Jimmy Barnes)
"Confronting in its honesty this book challenges you to keep reading no matter how uncomfortable it is to face the profound rawness of people’s stories. Such a well written book and so well researched. See What You Made Me Do sheds new light on this complex issue that affects so many of us." (Rosie Batty)

Important read but bias
Having worked in law enforcement for 25 years, I found this book tested my own bias, and I found inconsistencies in the facts. I saw passed this though to appreciate the messaging. I did however find myself incredibly frustrated at points with the authors bias. It just her opinion after all, but watching first hand how my sister in law committed family abuse on my brother for 15 years, then watching her manipulate the courts, police, psychologist, child protection works to alienate the children Flys in the face of this authors opinion. I can't help but wonder if the author became a victim in some part to the female victims (only a few of the case studies) negative advocacy! I would have preferred the author speak to some of the fathers also for a more holistic study.

Must read for literally everyone
I have been incredibly invested in the subject of men’s violence against women for quite some time now (to the point where I’ve decided to study social work next year so that I can actively work to combat it) and this book both reinforced my existing knowledge of the key drivers behind mens’ need for control, along with the societal structures that facilitate said control, and added to my understanding of the subject as a whole through the examination of things like wartime brainwashing techniques, impacts on children, and the horrendously under explored topic of how colonisation has created a climate of violence among indigenous communities.
This book seriously needs to be on school reading lists so that everyone can be aware of how they (and their immediate circles) interact with the problem, and how we as individuals and as a society can go about fixing it.

A heart felt thank you, Jess Hill, for opening my eyes to this national crisis. After reading your book, I feel a burning desire to be part of the solution in some way. I want to help. You could not have told this story in a more compelling, sincere and inspiring manner. I wish every Australian would read this book.

Devestating, harrowing and tremendously important!
A shocking and painful journey of women and families suffering from domestic abuse and control. With personal stories of abuse weaved into the bones of the book, it really transported you into the homes of the people suffering. It was a completely visceral and often disturbing experience, which makes this book so powerful. It inspires you to think deeply about domestic abuse, to walk in shoes of the families suffering at the hands of controlling fathers and partners, and somehow beyond all the twisted and harrowing stories the author makes you see the potential for serious change to occur. I am so disturbed at the system which has severely failed victims of domestic abuse. The author brings to the fore how extreme the injustice and prejudice is that is still cemented in our society and the systems responsible managing domestic abuse, its both shocking and heart wrenching. As an attachment style parent, the thought of having my children taken from my care within itself is difficult to digest, let alone at the hands of an abuser. Narrated by the author, she is a fantastic story teller and despite the harrowing content, I couldn't put it down. I believe this book can cause the urgent and needed change of how domestic abuse is dealt with in Australia, and beyond. This is extremely important work and I can't recommend listening to it enough so we all become part of the cultural shift which is drastically needed. ("Living is easy with eyes closed" John Lennon).

Astoundingly good
As an audio book, this is fantastic. As a book, in general, this is quite an undertaking. Breaks are necessary. It goes deep into domestic violence and presents balanced, quantifiable viewpoints.
As grueling as it is, there is hope in it, which makes the effort worth it.

If you are human, read this.
I don't know how to sum up this book other than:
Thank you Jess Hill for the depth at which you have delved and thank you to the survivors, victims, prior perpetrators and all others who have contributed. You have helped reassess my own preconceptions and misunderstandings, you have helped me develop more of an understanding and compassion where I didn't think it was deserved. I hope I can now use what I have learnt to contribute to a country less shrouded in domestic violence. I see you, I hear you, I believe you.

Incredibly powerful
I have never felt so compelled by a book. I encourage everyone to listen to this incredibly powerful book by investigative journalist Jess Hill.
See What You Made Me Do shines a light on Australia's domestic abuse crisis.
This book breaks down the stereotypes, biases and myths surrounding domestic abuse. It also shows how our cultural, political and legal systems are letting down victims and enabling perpetrators.
A harrowing but important read about a dangerous, frightening and complex phenomenon that is all too often hidden, minimised and ignored.

Stunning and Mind Opening
A well put together and well sourced book that has not only opened my mind towards the reality of domestic violence but gave me insight to where it comes from and how we all should combat it.

A fascinating read
The author showed great empathy for many women and children and the early chapters are moving and well researched.
In the final two chapters the author veers off into PC rhetoric and displays unhelpful political bias.
Overall it was a pleasure to listen to.

Amazing insight into DV & coercive control
I could not stop listening!!!! This book had me laugh, made me angry at the injustice of the system, made me cry at the pure tragedy of lives lost that could have been prevented but it has taught me soooo much and ignited a passion to support the woman who make it out and to the other side. Jess, thank you for your contribution to this extremely important area. So glad I heard you interviewed on the science of psychotherapy podcast!!

Courage to Write, Courage to Read
One of the heaviest books I’ve read, I normally breeze through books of all kinds but this really addresses the heart of domestic abuse and asks that you don’t look away. A confronting and important read. Props to Jess Hill for her strength to deliver this book with the voices of victims ringing loud and clear and to the victims for sharing their story.

"Audible hopes you enjoyed this..."
It would be difficult to say the reader would enjoy this book, although this is the comment at the end of each book on Audible.
It is, however, fascinating, well written, well narrated, heartbreaking, infuriating, thoroughly researched and investigated, and incredibly hard to put down.
The subject of the book is difficult to listen to, and the tragedies contained within its pages would make the ancient Greeks wail and gnash their teeth, but it is not just an unrelenting litany of horror. There is hope. There are things that society can do to change the outcomes for women who deal with these abusive relationships.
The choice to have the book narrated by the author was perfect. Throughout the book, the reader can hear that the author was not unaffected by the subject and the emotion in the author's voice clearly and emphatically underlines the rage, frustration, and deep, deep sorrow they experienced while investigating and writing this book.
So, no, Audible. I didn't enjoy this book. But I did find it compelling, absorbing, and vital to listen to, and I think everyone should read or listen to it as soon as possible, because these stories need to be heard and acted on, for all of our sakes.

A hard listen but essential.
Beautifully written, thoroughly investigated, and a voice women need. Too often women are drowned out by men, either defending other men, or saying, "what about us"?! This book should be a must read or listen for anyone involved in Psychotherapy, Psychiatry or Support work, and a definite read or listen by men who think they're the victims all the time.
A must read also for women to better understand other women who act and react in ways that some don't always understand. There is as much finger pointing and judgement from women towards women. than there is from men, and this needs to stop.
Jess Hill writes and narrates with unbiased grace, empathy, and obvious distress at times, reconnecting in her mind and heart with the lives of the women she is talking about.
I genuinely hope she goes on to investigate other subjects that need to be heard and exposed.

Unbelievably accurate and heart wrenching
This was amazing from beginning to end! As a survivor and a mother who has been dragged through court by her abuser and continues to be abused post separation, I found this book both bittersweet and incredibly emotional. This should be given to all “professionals” that come into contact with victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. Well done Jess!

Hard hitting, harrowing but truely insightful
For anyone interested in Psychology and wanting to gauge an understanding of the basis of domestic violence this book is incredibly insightful. However I do think that anyone having had a history of physical violence in a relationship may find it very triggering. it is very well written and presented.

Essential reading for every adult.
This is the work of a lifetime, and should be mandatory reading for everyone. Jess Hill shines a light into the darkness and confusion of coercive control and domestic abuse and challenges every myth and preconception.
I thought I was reasonably well informed on the subject and yet have ended this book far more informed, and far more humbled.
Jess’s very moving narration does the text justice, and I came away from this in awe of the work she’s done and the personal emotional toll this has taken on her personally.

domestic abuse
This book isn't an easy listen. it's narrated really well by the author but the content is distressing in many places. An account of some of the harrowing cases, people and police attitudes towards domestic violence. There's still an awful lot of work to do to keep people safe 🙁

Must read for everyone
This book has the power to change the word. Domestic abuse is at the root of many of the worst crime in our society. Not only does the book provides a great understanding of what domestic violence is, but also explore actual solution.
Jess Hill is a fantastic narrator in the audio book and really brings her book to life.

A must-listen for any woman, lawyer, police officer, and politician
An incredible and ground-breaking book taking an unflinching perspective from victim to perpetrator. It explores historical theory, modern research, policy, racism, and policing attitudes. We hear from victims, psychotherapists, perpetrators, family members and police, and perhaps most importantly, have the opportunity to hear how change has been brought about successfully.

the brutal truth
hard hitting and thought provoking. domestic abuse is not an easy topic for most and some of the monstrous behaviours by those you think would be protecting others are even harder to stomach than I found the bad behaviour. there is let up and hope so do persevere, and hopefully become a better informed part of the solution.

See What You Made Me Do
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for chapters 1-6.
2 ⭐⭐ for the rest.
This book starts off really strong. The first few chapters are truly excellent.
Then, well the rest of the chapters might be good if you live in Australia. I can't really judge as I have never even been there.
The first few chapters are worth reading though.
Chapter 7 is all over the place. I mean I get that the research and evidence is scant and flawed. I get that the issue is nuanced and complicated. But what even is the author's stance or point?
In earlier chapters she was insistent that the term "domestic abuse" includes a wide range of abuses and that non physical abuse is incredibly damaging too.
Then in this chapter on abusive women, we are told that the main difference between male and female violence is that men inflict greater harm. The manner in which this is discussed appears to me to be downplaying other forms of abuse. What conclusion are we to draw after this chapter? It's not at all clear.
And all the remaining chapters are all specific to Australia.
