Rob Parkes story of psychological manipulation, coercive control and emotional abuse by his now ex-wife was featured on an episode of Channel 4’s ’24 Hours in Police Custody’, and led Rob to write “Married to the Black Widdow” to tell his story.

Rob is kindly helping Reducing the Risk on a new training module. We look forward to sharing more on this soon!

Not many people know how much their life is worth. I do.

The value of my life, or more specifically the cost of ending it, can be measured on a sliding scale based on method, reliability and efficiency. Fifteen thousand pounds would buy you plausible deniability and a brick across the back of the head from a London-based professional hitman. Or, if you’re on a budget, five grand for “some nutter” to come down from Glasgow.
