Developing Domestic Violence Strategies - A Guide for Partnerships
One in four women and one in six men will be affected by domestic violence in their lifetimes, with women suffering higher rates of repeat victimisation and serious injury. The total cost to society is an estimated £23billion a year in England and Wales. All the responsible authorities that sit on Partnerships will all have a part to play in supporting victims or bringing perpetrators to justice. This guidance is designed to help them develop their own strategies to tackle, monitor and evaluate domestic violence in their area following local audits earlier this year.
