Staffordshire
police launched campaign against domestic violence. On the occasion of
Valentine's day some will celebrate and others suffer. Offenders should
challenge their own behaviour, says police.
Keeping in view the outcome of heavy drinking on Valentine's
Day, Staffordshire Police is taking initiative to discourage violence and
maintain the order.
The aim of Anti Violence campaign is to highlight the
devastating impact of Domestic Violence and to raise the awareness about any
kind of abuse across county. It can be man or woman facing domestic violence in
the form of physical, emotional, sexual or mental abuse.
Detective Superintendent Mark Dean said: "Domestic
abuse is never ok. Men and women can be victims but it is an offence that
affects more than those direct victims. It affects children, wider families and
friends.
Offenders should challenge their own behaviour, understand it and seek
help and support to stop a cycle of abuse that is totally unacceptable."
Staffordshire Police says they would encourage any victim to
take the first step to free themselves from abuse by reporting it to police and
seeking help.
Victims can also contact 24-hour National Domestic Violence Freephone Helpline on 0808 2000 247. Staffordshire Police says they would also encourage people with drinking or drugs habit contact Adsis on 0844 561 7079 or Aquarius on 01782 283113
