Introduce tougher sentencing for perpetrators of domestic abuse

We believe the UK legal system is too lenient on perpetrators of domestic abuse.

All too often, the perpetrators are sentenced to community service, a suspended sentence, or sometimes just a fine. These sentences do not reflect the torment their victims are put through.

We believe the perpetrators should be given a jail term, as well as placed on a programme aimed at reducing the likelihood of them re-offending
