answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2015 answer text <p>The Crime Survey for England and Wales provides comprehensive data on the nature of domestic violence and abuse, and there is now a widespread understanding that domestic abuse is not just about violence. In recognition of this, in March 2013, we expanded the Government’s non-statutory definition of domestic violence and abuse to capture coercive and controlling behaviour.<br><br>In 2014, we consulted on whether the legal framework to protect victims of domestic abuse should be strengthened, recognising that coercive and controlling behaviour can be harder to recognise but can have an equally devastating impact on its victims. The majority of respondents to the consultation agreed that there is a gap in the law, and we are now legislating to close this gap. A summary of the evidence collected from the consultation is published at: <br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/strengthening-the-law-on-domestic-abuse" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/strengthening-the-law-on-domestic-abuse</a><br><br>We are committed to improving the way data on domestic abuse including coercive and controlling behaviour is collected. New guidelines have been issued to the police on collecting domestic abuse data against a clear national standard. We are also developing a reliable and safe model for surveying victims of domestic abuse.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 09/02/2015 17:39:00 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone previous answer version 43132 answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
