Truro and Falmouth MP Cherilyn Mackrory welcomes Government action to crack down on domestic abuse and stalking.
Yesterday, the Government announced 50 new projects, backed by £39 million, stopping abusive behaviour from happening and protecting people from these horrific crimes.
Domestic abuse and stalking are vile crimes which cause victims to feel terror in their own homes and communities, where they should feel their safest.
These programmes will enable the police to closely monitor abusers and provide early psychological intervention for those who display stalking behaviour, as well as training more frontline officers to spot signs of domestic abuse so they can intervene.
By helping police identify abusive behaviour and stop it from escalating or happening again we are protecting people from this horrific abuse.
Cherilyn said: It is essential that the police have the power to act decisively and immediately to combat domestic violence which harms so many people, especially women and girls. I welcome Government action to tackle this horrendous crime.
