“…Strangulation is a painful experience (Turkel, 2010) and may cause immediate symptoms such as loss of consciousness and loss of sphincter control; however, symptoms may appear days and even weeks afterwards, including bruises, brain injury, bleeding, stroke, difficulty swallowing, memory loss, and internal injuries that may result in death (Armstrong & Strack, 2016; Joshi et al, 2012; Scannell, MacDonald, & Foster, 2017; Wilbur et al, 2001). The seriousness of nonfatal strangulation in the context of domestic violence has been further supported by studies that have shown a link between experiencing nonfatal strangulation during a domestically violent relationship and an increased likelihood of intimate partner homicide (Campbell, Glass, Sharps, Laughon, & Bloom, 2007; Glass et al, 2008).…”

Strangulation is different to other types of physical violence as it often leaves no visible injuries and is frequently motivated by coercive control. Few studies have explored nonfatal strangulation and coercive control, and no studies have explored these factors within a sample of stalkers. Given that stalking perpetrators exhibit many of the coercively controlling behaviors related to nonfatal strangulation, the current study explored nonfatal strangulation and other coercively controlling behaviors in a stalking sample. A police dataset of 9,884 cases of domestic violence that involved stalking was analyzed. Results revealed that coercive control and related behaviors of excessive jealousy, victim isolation, victim fear, and victim’s belief that the perpetrator will kill them were associated with higher likelihood of having experienced nonfatal strangulation. These results may help first responders to identify victims at risk of nonfatal strangulation and suggest a need for nonfatal strangulation to be a criminal offense.

Patients presenting to the emergency department after strangulation are in need of specialized care and treatment. Patient presentations after nonfatal strangulations vary dramatically; however, regardless of variation, no assumptions should be made about the seriousness of the injury. The clinician's goal should be a thorough assessment and evaluation, followed by treatment in accordance with individual patient needs. One way to ensure this comprehensive care is through the implementation of forensic nursing care and a detailed nonfatal strangulation assessment. In this case report, three different cases of women who reported to the emergency department after strangulation by their intimate partners are presented. Although all three patients presented differently, it is imperative to remember that not all patients present in the same manner, and therefore, bias associated with lack of injury, or presentation with injury, should not deter the treatment provided.
