The Times view on support for people living with abusive partners: Home Abuse
Staying indoors is certainly not safer for everyone. For those who live with abusive partners, lockdown can be dangerous. Indeed, for some it has already been fatal. In the first three weeks of the lockdown domestic abuse killings were at double the average rate, according to the campaign group Counting Dead Women. Calls to abuse helplines have surged, while the Metropolitan Police says that its officers are arresting an average of 100 people a day for domestic violence offences. Yesterday the long-delayed Domestic Abuse Bill, which was drawn up by Theresa May, passed its second reading in the Commons. That is welcome. But the crisis demands immediate action too.
