SERIAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENDER'S REGISTER (REP.IRELAND)

Register of serial abusers would allow new partners and others at risk of violence to be told of a man woman's history. Controversially, this could include information short of convictions, including a pattern of unproved allegations by different men and women. The register of serial domestic violence abusers would differ from the sex offenders register in that conviction alone would not automatically lead to inclusion. Decisions about disclosure to potential victims would be taken by a multi-agency panel that would assess the risks in each case. This register has recently been passed in the U.K and this petition is to encourage such register to be inforced in the Republic of Ireland.
