A recent study has underscored the pressing need for policymakers to focus on alcohol abuse as a critical factor in domestic violence (DV) cases. The report, spearheaded by a national commissioner, reveals a significant correlation between alcohol consumption and instances of domestic violence, advocating for comprehensive strategies that address this link. By scrutinising every domestic violence-related death, the study aims to inform and enhance existing policies, ensuring more effective prevention and intervention measures are implemented.
