Government scraps plans to help domestic violence victims

[ElephantsAndMiasmas]

...because of "tough economic times".

Have you seen this? Plans to keep violent partners away from the family home temporarily, in order to give the victim the chance to escape are to be scrapped

Thread on the subject on In The News here

Hi Elephants... I can only speculate what I think they could possibly be.
IloveTIFFANY and MayorQuimby (sorry if names slightly wrong) put forward their reasons succintly on the other thread.

My reasons:
1, Problems with throwing someone out of home without the justice system being involved.
2, Problems with throwing someone out of home that they solely own full stop.
3, If someone is accused of domestic violence then the appropriate treatment would be arresting them not throwing them out of home.
4, Domestic abusers turning the tables and manipulating situation so that abusee is thrown out of home. After all, there doesn't have to be evidence as such.
5, The efficacy of such orders- if I were seriously being abused, I don't think I could relax enough to make any plans. I'd worry at night thinking that abuser would return to home.

smallwhitecat, what if the accused is granted bail and the home is solely owned by him/her (the accused)
Can he/she still be banned from it?

From what smallwhitecat says in her (ok, assuming female!) first post here, the police/courts already have powers- so why do they need more?
