Clare's Law, introduced in 2014, allows people to ask the police for information about someone they know and also enables the police to warn people who they believe may be in danger. But recent research conducted by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism illustrated a large disparity across England and Wales in how police use the law to protect women from violent partners. Those asking for information about their partner's record of domestic violence are 10 times less likely to receive it from police in some parts of the country than others. Sandra Walklate Professor of Sociology at Liverpool University and Deputy Chief Constable Louisa Rolfe, the National Police Chiefs' Council's lead for domestic abuse join Jane.
