A new law on domestic violence, making it illegal for someone to exercise ‘coercive control’
over their partner, will be unveiled by the Government this week.
Home Secretary Theresa May has today (Thursday 18 December) announced a new
domestic abuse offence of coercive and controlling behaviour.
The maximum penalty for the new offence will be five years imprisonment and a fine.
The new law will help protect victims by outlawing sustained patterns of behaviour that
stop short of serious physical violence, but amount to extreme psychological and emotional
abuse. Victims of coercive control can have every aspect of life controlled by their partner,
often being subjected to daily intimidation and humiliation.
The government ran a consultation over the summer seeking views on whether the law on
domestic abuse needs to be strengthened. Eighty-five per cent of respondents agreed that
the law does not currently provide sufficient protection to victims. Fifty-five per cent said
that a new offence was needed to strengthen and clarify the law on coercive and controlling
behaviour in intimate relationships.
The offence will be drafted to ensure that it is clear and proportionate and does not impact
on ordinary power dynamics in relationships.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: “Domestic abuse is a hideous crime that shatters the
lives of victims, trapping them in cycles of abuse that too often end in tragic and untimely
deaths.
“Coercive control can be tantamount to torture. In many cases, dominance over the victim
develops and escalates over the years until the perpetrator has complete control. Putting a
foot wrong can result in violent outbursts, with victims living in fear for their lives.
“Meeting survivors of domestic abuse and hearing their shocking stories have made me all
the more determined to put a stop to this scourge on our society.
“The government is committed to protecting the victims of this terrible crime and it is clear
that this new offence has the potential to save lives.”
Coercive and controlling behaviour can include the abuser preventing their victim from
having friendships or hobbies, refusing them access to money and determining minute
aspects of their everyday life, such as when they are allowed to eat, sleep and go to the
toilet.
The new offence complements major ongoing work in response to an investigation by Her
Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary on the police response to domestic abuse,
commissioned by the Home Secretary. In addition to creating the new offence, the Home
New law to put a stop on
domestic violence and
create the punishment much
worse than before.
Not domestic violence it is domestic
abuse which shows that it’s not always
violence its other abuse as well.
The new punishment if
caught doing domestic
abuse which shows
there is more control
over the issue.

Secretary is chairing a national oversight group to lead implementation of the report’s
recommendations and make significant and lasting improvements to how the police deal
with domestic abuse.
