The police already maintain a number of databases which will hold details of domestic abuse perpetrators, for example the Police National Computer, Police National Database and the ViSOR Dangerous Persons Database.
The Home Office and the Ministry of Justice have jointly funded a project to create the new Multi-Agency Public Protection System (MAPPS) which will allow ViSOR, which is now outdated, to be decommissioned. MAPPS will have much greater functionality than ViSOR, enabling Criminal Justice agencies to more efficiently share information, improving the risk assessment and management of MAPPA nominals, including domestic abuse perpetrators.
Domestic Abuse Protection Orders under the Act and Stalking Protection Orders which were introduced in January 2020 provide an additional tool for managing the risk posed by perpetrators, by enabling courts to impose a range of conditions including notification requirements and positive requirements.
