CHARITIES have praised a police campaign tackling domestic abuse for its focus on the perpetrators – after previous efforts were criticised for “victim-blaming”.
Police Scotland launched the “Is That Me?” campaign just prior to the New Year, looking to tackle domestic abuse before it starts by encouraging young men to recognise red-flag behaviours.
The campaign urges people to reflect on their actions and seek help if they identify coercive control and worrying patterns that could escalate into abuse within their relationship.
