Seg. 1: Initiative On Domestic Violence | Seg. 2: Your Inner Fish

Segment 1: New initiative on domestic violence.

Jackson County has a new intiative to protect victims of domestic violence and to stop homicides by monitoring people identified as likely to do so. In this conversation, we speak with the Jackson County prosecutor about the initiative and what she hopes the outcome will be.

  • Jean Peters Baker, Jackson County Prosecutor


Segment 2, beginning at 23:46: Your inner fish.
