Government spends £53m on domestic violence programme

The UK government has allocated £53 million to expand a domestic violence prevention program. The program focuses on working with perpetrators to help them address the underlying personal issues that contribute to their abusive behavior. This funding will build upon an existing pilot scheme, allowing it to reach more individuals and potentially reduce instances of domestic violence across the country. The initiative aims to take a proactive approach by providing support and resources to help perpetrators change their patterns of behavior, rather than solely relying on reactive measures such as law enforcement or victim support services. The program's expansion signifies the government's commitment to tackling the root causes of domestic violence and working towards a more comprehensive solution to this pervasive social issue.
