Each week in Britain two women die at the hands of their partners - a statistic which highlights the scale of the challenge domestic abuse presents. A recent change in the law hopes to transform society's understanding and give the authorities a new tool to tackle psychological abuse and controlling behaviour. In this episode of 'Tonight' we speak to the parents who lost their daughter at the hands of her boyfriend, hear first-hand from domestic abuse on the insidious nature of the abuse and attend police emergency call outs to families across the UK.
