My Criminal Record
Victims of Domestic Abuse are often forced to commit crime. Coercion by partners and relatives is a distinct route into criminality and prison for some. The Domestic Abuse Bill received royal assent on 29 April 2021. It is a landmark piece of legislation however it still fails to protect victims who offend, or are alleged to offend as a direct result of their experience of abuse.
