Earlier this week on the BBC News program, World Have Your Say, they discussed a new proposal in the U.K. to install ’safe rooms’ to protect victims of domestic violence while allowing them to remain in their homes. These rooms would be fitted with CCTVs, reinforced doors and windows, mortise locks and panic alarms.

Lisa Angel, an attorney at Rosen Law Firm, was featured as one of the domestic violence experts in the discussion. During the program, Angel referred to a domestic violence incident in western North Carolina. She commented that safe rooms are only one protective measure to consider, arguing abusers will attack a victim elsewhere and using the September murder of a woman at a shelter in Sylva, N.C as an example.
