Crackdown on Domestic Abuse
Crackdown on Domestic Abuse: A NEW specialist unit has been set up to tackle domestic abuse, an issue which has been thrown into the spotlight by the pandemic and government restrictions keeping people in their homes. For adults and children living with abuse, this has been a particularly difficult time. But now, with the help of £402,000 government funding, some of Sussex’s most harmful and prolific domestic abusers will be targeted by the new unit, which is being jointly led and monitored by Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne. The High Harm Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Unit will seek out the most active and dangerous serial perpetrators.
