DAPOs: New Tool in Domestic Abuse Fight
Update: 2025-12-21
Description
In Greater Manchester, a man sought peace, not punishment, after his partner attacked him. Police intervened with a Domestic Abuse Protection Order (DAPO), the first against a woman in the area. This new tool, part of a national pilot, can last a lifetime and covers controlling behavior. The push for tougher rules came after Caroline Gores tragic death. DAPOs have led to a significant drop in domestic abuse reports and hundreds of arrests. However, challenges remain, and police seek interim orders to speed up the process. The pilot will expand to Oldham and Salford next year, marking a significant shift in tackling abuse.
