Court scheme takes on domestic violence
THE Scottish executive is to set up a network of dedicated
domestic violence
courts to tackle soaring levels of household abuse, writes
Kathleen Nutt.
The move follows a successful pilot scheme in Glasgow that has
fast-tracked
trials and led to a dramatic increase in successful convictions
and guilty
pleas.
The court, which sits every day, has a conviction rate of 75%,
compared with
just 8% in some parts of the country. In addition, more than 40%
of cases
are settled with a guilty plea, more than double the rate in
mainstream
courts.
As a result, many vulnerable women are spared the trauma of giving
evidence
against their husbands or boyfriends.
The speed with which the cases are brought to court also reduces
the chances
of further intimidation or of having second thoughts about
pressing charges.
Ministers now intend to introduce similar courts in Edinburgh,
Aberdeen and
Dundee to tackle the growing problem of domestic abuse.
According to the most recent figures, almost 44,000 cases of
domestic abuse
were reported to the police in 2004, compared with 39,000 the
previous year.
About half of all women murdered are killed by husbands or ex-husbands
and
one in five women has suffered abuse at the hands of a boyfriend
or former
boyfriend.
Research carried out by the Scottish executive found that, on
average, women
are assaulted 35 times by their boyfriends before contacting the
police.
Mhairi McGowan, co-ordinator of the Assist project, which supports
women
going through the domestic violence court, said: “Cases go ahead
six weeks
after the accused has entered a not-guilty plea — in a normal
court it would
probably be 12 to 18 weeks.
“It means there is less time for the accused to try and persuade
the victim
not to give evidence and also less time in which the accused could
be
harassing his victim.”
McGowan said the domestic violence court had improved the standard
of
evidence collection by the police and had led to victims receiving
the
latest information in a case.
Under the scheme women are also contacted by Assist staff
immediately after
reporting an incident to the police to make sure they and their
children
will remain safe once their lover is released from custody.
“Domestic abuse is unlike any other crime, it’s not like house-breaking
or
robbery or drug dealing,” said McGowan. “You are dealing with a
specific
complex set of circumstances in which the offender and victim are
intimately
connected. It is appropriate that the court system recognises that
difference with specialist courts.”
In its first year the domestic violence court dealt with more than
600
cases.
Mary Lockhart, spokeswoman for Scottish Women’s Aid, said she was
delighted
that the scheme was to be launched in Scotland’s cities. “Courts
are often
hostile places for witnesses, but a specialist court on domestic
violence
allows for the creation of a constructive atmosphere,” she said.
The Scottish executive said: “The pilot has been very encouraging.
England
has extended its pilot and we will be looking to see what we can
learn from
how it was rolled out there.”

...Ahora
hay leyes que convierten en Delito que un hombre y su hijo, en
silencio, se miren.
...Ya hay
propuestas de ley que condenan con cárcel al padre si el niño
expresa su deseo de ir a vivir con él.
...Si un Hombre
va a denunciar que es víctima de Malos Tratos...
Suelen brotar
sonrisas incrédulas e irónicas de los rostros de Funcionarios Públicos.
Demasiados
Hombres son víctimas de Malos Tratos por parte de sus parejas, Malos
tratos (psicológicos, físicos) que con demasiada frecuencia provocan el
Suicidio del Maltratado.
Ante estas y otras
injusticias aparece una sola incógnita:
PORQUE ????
Y UNA
CONVICCIÓN:
YA ES SUFICIENTE
!!!
Ha llegado el
momento !!!
Denunciemos
tanto surrealismo e injusticia!
Únete a
nosotros y denuncia tu situación.
