In this episode, we’re diving into the data behind your recent survey to uncover what the community thinks it knows about domestic violence — and what’s missing. Host, Tosha Connors and guests, Komlavi Adissem of The Post and Courier and Dr. Shelby Shumard of Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Center for Livable Communities at the College of Charleston, discuss the gaps between perception and reality, and how that informs future outreach, education, and intervention.
