And controlling abusers will now be prosecuted even if they do not live with their victims. The proposals come as domestic abuse cases have risen sharply during the pandemic . Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said: “From outlawing non-fatal strangulation to giving better protections in court we are delivering the support victims need to feel safer.” Chancellor Rishi Sunak will unveil £19million for more Respite Rooms for vulnerable women and programmes to tackle domestic abuse in the Budget. He said: “For many domestic abuse victims, the pandemic has worsened the nightmares they go through … [Read more...] about Domestic abusers who choke partners will face up to five years in jail under tough new laws
