ACPO comment on joint police and Crown Prosecution Service checklist for domestic violence

ACPO lead on domestic violence Chief Constable Carmel Napier said:

“One in four women and one in six men experience domestic abuse in their life time. Domestic abuse ruins lives, in some cases it ends in homicide.

"The Joint CPS and ACPO domestic violence checklist will give officers the confidence that they are collecting all the evidence needed to support a conviction."
