Report shows the decline of Specialist Domestic Abuse Courts

"The report argues that the lack of #victim focus within #SDAC/ #court proceedings reflects and is underscored by a process of de-prioritisation of #domesticabuse within wider #CriminalJusticeSystem (#CJS) processes. The clearest evidence of this was found in low caseloads and ineffective or inconsistent clustering of services.
