Petition Review Coercive Control Law and Police Training
It appears that the current Coercive Control Law is not working and failing. Last year there were almost 50,000 offences of coercive control recorded by the police in England and Wales but only a very small number of these resulted in convictions. This conviction rate must be improved.
More details
The Government must review the application of the law and widen it to encompass more behaviours: severe lying, impersonating armed forces personnel, repeat infidelity, damage to vehicles. Adequate training must be provided to police forces and there must be a presumption in that training for women to be dealt with by female officers upon request.
