A new bill we brought before the Scottish Parliament, which
would see alleged domestic abusers removed from their homes, rather
than the victims. The bill has just entered drafted and been
approved, it is expected that before the end of the parliamentary
session in 2021, the legislation will be introduced.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of Scotland said "We will
introduce a Bill in this Parliament to give police and courts new
powers to remove suspected perpetrators from the homes of those at
risk.
Such orders would allow Scotland's justice system to
safeguard people who, foe instance, are being controlled to such an
extent that they could not initiate court action themselves, and
give victims time to seek advice on longer-term housing options
