Consultation description

This consultation seeks views on whether the current law on domestic abuse needs to be strengthened to offer better protection to victims. It is specifically focused on whether we should create a specific offence that captures patterns of coercive and controlling behaviour in intimate relationships, inline with the government’s non-statutory definition of domestic abuse.

Re: Strengthening the law on domestic abuse: a consultation

The current laws more than adequately cover domestic violence. This is just another attempt to con the public that they actually care when they don't. Eg: Look at the situation regarding the inquiry into child abuse, it ain't happening in the hope the voters will forget and move on

Google & read 'Spotlight' on child abuse, you'll be shocked
