Keir Starmer believes a cultural change to combat violence against women can happen - in the same way as caning school children was banned in the 1980s.
In a speech on his mission to tackle crime, the Labour leader said: "From the people of this country, I draw belief - change can happen and it can happen quickly.
“People forget – it was only in the 80s when the physical punishment of children in schools was banned, and huge cultural change has followed.
