Petition Domestic violence regulations

More details

After my own experience in a violent relationship and waiting weeks on end for the arrest of him I want domestic violence cases to become as serious as murder before the murder takes place. 9 times out of 10 abusers end up murdering their victims, only then are cases taken as seriously as they should be. Domestic violence leaves life long scars for all victims that do actually survive and nobody should have to feel failed by their justice system. I want the justice system to up the severity of domestic violence, review all current regulations and laws to look into ways of improving how the cases are dealt with and improving support for all victims during and after the abuse has taken place.
