A register for domestic violence perpetrators
Set up an official register for domestic violence perpetrators to sign on to wherever they reside in the U.K. A register that requires DV perpetrators to sign into daily or according to the severity of the crime at police stations in their locality, Similar to the sex offender register. Set up a better system that informs people who enter relationships with perpetrators of the violence/abuse including coercion and sexual exploitation the perpetrator is capable of.
Why is this important?
This is important because so many lives are ruined by domestic violence, this violence impacts on the lives of women, men and children, some children grow up to believe violence is a normal act and go on to become perpetrators themselves. Lives are lost to domestic violence everyday, stop the violence. On average the perpetrator will assault their target 36 times before police are called. The reluctance to call the police is born out of extreme fear and shame.
