Response to Home Secretary’s change to Policing Bill

SafeLives welcome the Home Secretary’s announcement today that she is laying down an amendment to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Court Bill to include domestic abuse and sexual violence within its definition of ‘serious violence’. This amendment will make it clear to local authorities, police forces and other agencies that they must address domestic abuse and sexual violence to the same degree as knife crime and homicide.
