HM Inspectorate of Probation found that despite some “positive developments” by the Probation Service to reduce domestic abuse and protect victims, little appears to have improved in practice since its last report in 2018.
Its inspection found that 30 per cent of people on probation are current or previous perpetrators of domestic abuse.
It also found that only 28 per cent of the of those on probation had been sufficiently assessed for any risks of further domestic abuse.
