New report covering police response to domestic abuse allegations

There seems to have been a rash of reports in the last 12 months covering different aspects of domestic violence.

The latest, published today, is an in depth review of how a selection of police forces have responded to victims. It makes uncomfortable reading for police and victims alike. Whilst the report does highlight pockets of good practice, there was scathing criticism for the vast majority of constabularies.

I'd always encourage you to read original sources over second hand accounts wherever possible (especially if you're going to reference the report obviously) and with that in mind the whole thing can be found here. That said, if you'd prefer a shorter account of what the report says, the BBC has a good mix of video, audio and text here covering the issue.

Let me know if you'd like any help with the strategic reading or referencing of such a document.
