Domestic Abuse

EDM number 917 in 2013-14, proposed by Elfyn Llwyd on 08/01/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice and Crimes of violence.

That this House believes that the level of domestic abuse in the UK is unacceptable, that the number of victims reporting incidents is extremely low and that the number of alleged perpetrators convicted is unsatisfactory; further believes that all criminal justice professionals should receive training on the subject of domestic abuse; and asks the Government to consider introducing a specific law of domestic abuse, which would take into account courses of conduct and repetitive abusive behaviour.

This motion has been signed by a total of 92 MPs.
