Partners In Crime

A woman is battered in her own home. Trying to escape, she's dragged back by her feet and attacked with an axe. Only a 999 call saves her life. Horrific, but for Police Sergeant Colette Paul and Police Constable Annette O'Reilly , it is tragically familiar. They volunteered to run the first domestic violence unit in a British police station in Tottenham, London, which has since dealt with more than 2,000 local incidents. For Britain's real life 'Cagney and Lacey' the violence never seems to end.
