Attempting to handle the problem of domestic abuse in this way is wrong. The current model is costly to both public services and the mental health and wellbeing of the victims involved. 

If perpetrators are charged, once they are released the first thing they will do is target the victim in an attempt to harass, intimidate, threaten and regain control over them.

.......and people ask the question, 'why did they stay?'

This is why Resolute women's support group are campaigning for UK Parliament to initiate and enforce the introduction of a 'Tag & App' system for DA/DV perpetrators, minimising  further trauma to the VICTIM.

The 'Tag & App' system would work by a tagging device being placed on the perpetrator, whilst an app is also installed into the victims mobile device. This would  alert the victim if the abuser was to enter a specified proximity around them. This alert would give the victim time to ensure that they and their children are safe and supported until Police are able to intervene. This system would also provide the evidence required if an abuser breaches their conditions or commits a criminal offence. 

This system would also very much reduce the victims anxiety; the security that the same colour car driving up & down the street is not the perpetrator, the security that the person walking towards them in the same coat  is not the perpetrator. The security that their children are safe in school without worry of the perpetrators actions.

Why should a victim of domestic abuse be restricted from freedom, after working so hard to finally break free?

Please sign our petition and help the victims of domestic abuse feel safe in their own home, and life, once again.
