The annual report highlights key milestones, including the passage of the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024, and pressing challenges like the prisons crisis and record Crown Court backlogs.

"It is essential first responders are equipped to spot, identify and act on domestic abuse — and police have the necessary tools to keep victims safe", says Baroness Newlove.

Commenting on The Centre for Women's Justice's (CWJ) new report, Baroness Newlove said that failures highlighted in the report mean valuable opportunities to identify and root out abusers are not being grasped.

Baroness Newlove has said it is "regrettable" that some victims have been left unaware of the early release of their offender.

Baroness Newlove’s report found people’s lives have been ‘severely impacted’ because of the failure of forces to act on complaints.

A new report from the Victims' Commissioner highlights the damaging impact of persistent anti-social behaviour on its victims.

Baroness Newlove says victims are being let down by the criminal justice system after she surveyed more than 3,000 people about their experiences. "Victims have spoken: now it’s time for criminal justice agencies – and the new government – to listen."
