Clare's Law shows scale of domestic violence problem
The abusive pasts of more than 1,300 violent partners have been revealed since the introduction of Clare's Law, named after Clare Wood, from Salford, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 2009.
Clare Wood's father - 'She would be proud'
Clare Wood's father said his murdered daughter would spur him on if she was able to witness the campaigning he has done to raise awareness of domestic violence.
Michael Brown, 71, said his work to bring about changes to legislation to protect women from domestic abuse has helped him deal with the grief felt over his daughter's death.
Mr Brown, a retired prison officer, said more could still be done to protect women from abusive men, including improved use of the police national computer to identify potential abusers.
In the wake of his daughter's death, he lobbied for the Government to enact what would become Clare's Law, which allows the police to disclose information about a partner's previous history of domestic violence or violent acts.
