It is a scheme which allows any of us to ask the police whether a partner has an abusive past.

The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme was introduced across England and Wales 10 years ago this week.
It's better known as Clare’s Law, named for Clare Wood, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 2009.
But new analysis by Channel 4 News suggests thousands more people could be warned about potentially dangerous partners each year, if police forces used the scheme more consistently.

FYI, men can use the law also so it's not just for women. They should really expand it to include history of multiple abuse claims and false allegations.
But why isn't C4 framing it like this? Why the misandrist bs and generalizing women as victims when half are perpetrators
@@simpdefendmlady6579 BC modern feminism is not about equality but rather female dominance and misandry.
What are stats for women being half of perpetrates? 2 women per week are killed by their partners@@simpdefendmlady6579
Let's not forget that children need protecting, too. A man or woman with this kind of history is not in their first relationship. Either they or their prospective partner might have children that don't need to be dragged into this mess. Nobody needs a partner that's a risk to themselves, their children, any elderly relatives, or even their pets. Absolutely right that you mention false allegations. That's just a complex form of coercive control. Everyone should be diligent about who they bring into their family. I'd be interested to know what you think of people who ignore the advice they are given. The history of attitudes towards women and DV is a bit different. From my parents' generation women used to be congratulated for putting up with violent partners. That changed slowly to making women more accountable for repeated poor choices, especially because of the impact on children brought up in homes where abuse is normalised. Do you think male victims should be held more accountable for their choices, too? Is there enough awareness to make that happen?
the government is clearly not investing in the DV unit and it shows.
We need to advertise more on Claire's law for women to use this potential life saving wonderful tool we got through a beautiful young woman dying at the hands of a monster ❤
Yes!
The problem with laws like this is that they are created with people with good intentions but who don't really try and understand real life. The vast majority of these offences are already in the public sphere if you google your partners name there will likely be some reporting on it. Secondly if they are using a false name, have a very common name and move location unless they are in regular contact with police how on Earth will the police know where they are or what they are doing to actually tell the partner. When the police visit you can't force people to speak to you in any case. In real life relationships are not easily identifiable. Added to that if they are in regular contact with the police often the partner is aware they are up to some shady stuff and more susceptible to their partner claiming the police just have a vendetta against them. This is especially problematic as the police do sometimes attempt to misuse elements of this act to claim people have been "violent" to their former partner when the alleged offences most reasonable people wouldn't deem domestic violence, such as committing a violent or aggressive act (such as punching a police officer or simply being disorderly) in the mere presents of their partner.
Domestic vio lence is most commonly reciprocal -Cambridge
'Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases.' - NCBI
This reeks of misinformation. A link would help convince me otherwise.
@@julierogers1155 This reeks of manipulation. You know links aren't allowed, and you also know how to copy paste my comment into any search engine and find the study yourself. Your goal was never to find the truth, it was to discriminate half of the population because you're a femceI
@@julierogers1155 You provide a link to counter their argument.
@@LOL-js1ee That is not how the functional world works. "@bleachdiet" made a claim without any citation, link to the source information. Is it up to @bleachdiet to provide a source for their claim, OR NOT. YOU knock yourself out if you want to do their homework.
sorry love but you need to back up your claim with evidence. Try again@@LOL-js1ee
Name and shame the police forces putting women at risk by failing to proactively inform their citizens
The stress in people’s lives I’m surprised these numbers aren’t much much higher
Should integrate it directly into dating apps, with a big red warning sign.
worst idea you could imagine
great idea, never thought of that!
We definitely need this in Australia.
AND, in the United States.
@@julierogers1155yup. Especially bc most of them are armed.
Everyone in the US as well as the UK is able to use google, the US police post every single criminal conviction on the internet. It is the case that some people have hard to google names and perhaps give a false name, but then it is really really hard for the police to give you a record if you ask for it anyway. If you have good enough information for the police typically you have good enough information for google.
@@davedavids57 Re: your first statement ... I come across SO MANY individuals who are not saavy, and do NOT use Google. As to your second statement, I do not know that it is accurate either. U.S. police department are local and state entities ... AND there procedures DIFFER GREATLY. I can tell you that living in California, and Washington state, I have more access to personal information in Washington state. It is much harder to obtain personal information and court records in California.
Nah what you guys need is to send over some of that good old sunshine, son
Women are equal so shame on you c4 for being misogynistic
Men are on average physically stronger than women so not equal in this aspect
Duck up ya mad bun🍞 michael
@@fairy12324 Imagine not understanding sarcasm
@@herekitty791 i think its you with misunderstanding
What about men? Men need protection as well. With the amount of false allegation cases
How many men are killed every year by their partner? Go on... Show us some statistics
Enough and if not they live with the scars and torment.
@marilenaganea6578 What if they identify as women? Please check your privilege.

Not one second devoted to examining the lives and relationships of the men that this law destroys, or the privacy it invades, or the disparity of enforcement most likely leaning lax towards immigrants who come from places where domestic abuse is part of the culture.
Citations needed. Racism noted.
"Lives destroyed"? Are you concerned with the lives of the perpetrators being destroyed? "Privacy invaded"? If you are abusing another human being you have forfeited a right to privacy.
In our own countries USA ,UK and all over the world Homelessness are rising,Housing crisis rising,Child cost cost of living crisis rising..Politicians are funding for wars and wars enjoying themselves.
Please indulge the commentary by naming one "joyful" effective elected in the U.S. They're miserable, or they're christonationalists/formerly known as "Republicans."
I thought we were all equal. Women shouldn't need this. Equality for all
You incels are equals with the 🐛
Women "shouldn't need this"? REALITY takes precedent over "should" or "shouldn't", OBVIOUSLY.
@@julierogers1155 But everyone's equal. Women are as strong as men anyway. Are you saying they aren't?
@julierogers1155 Are you saying that women aren't as strong as men?

We need this in the United States pronto!
could the law benefit more people? yes, but will it happen if it requires the police to actually do their job? no.
If you have convictions you should 1. be able to tell your partner and not hide and 2. this. I wish America had this. Everyone I've dated has gone through some type of thing like this (including me, I'm a guy)
This is problematic
The survivor in the interview this evening was speaking positively of the work she had done with police across the country - yet your presenter chose to ignore this and make an out of context statement that police don’t take this seriously, do you not want survivors to come forward, do you want them to think no one will believe them? Irresponsible journalism - though likely agenda pushing I fear.
Women who end up in these relationships should blame their parents for a poor upbringing
The ignorance, and the lack of empathy, on the commentor's part is stunning.
