The LINDA Project
Linda died of domestic abuse. At the time, nobody believed her.
LINDA helps ensure others are not erased the same way.
No crimes were ever recorded.

🛠️ How It Works
From Incidents to Evidence
Structured Logging
Captures each incident with guiding prompts and optional tags for behaviour type (e.g. gaslighting, financial control, threats).
Legal Awareness
Explains key thresholds for crimes like harassment or coercive control, based on CPS guidance and statutory definitions.
Support Mapping
Suggests what organisations should respond to what situations — from police to local safeguarding boards to victim services.
Pattern Recognition
AI mode groups events and checks against legal/policy definitions — producing reports for legal, social, or personal use.
Discreet and Secure
Encrypted local storage, and ways to hide files within everyday formats.
📂 Outputs
Generating Actionable Reports
Evidence Timeline
Shows patterns of behaviour and escalation across time.
Legal Criteria Report
Summarises how logged behaviour meets thresholds (e.g. “repeated and purposeful” conduct).
Policy Compliance Summary

👥 Who It’s For
A Tool for Survivors and Supporters

Professionals

Researchers
For policy experts and journalists tracking patterns of systemic failure.
🕊️ Why “LINDA”?
In Memory of Linda Crook
A Life Dismissed
This tool is named in memory of Linda Crook, who experienced long-term coercive control, isolation, and medical neglect. Despite asking for help, she was dismissed.
A Story to Be Heard
Despite evidence, no crimes were recorded. Despite suffering, no justice followed. The LINDA Project exists to ensure that stories like hers are never ignored again.
