In the United Kingdom, decisions on charging either the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) or the police. Usually, the police decide to charge for less major violations. For more severe or complicated situations, however, the police forward the investigation to the CPS, which then decides whether to launch charges. Making decisions can take time.
If on at least two times a victim has significant alarm or distress that affects their daily activities or they are afraid of physical assault, they can invoke the coercive control crime, which carries a maximum punishment of five years' imprisonment and a fine.
Courts evaluate in domestic violence cases whether the complainant created a cover narrative out of fear or later created an assault allegation. Medical and photographic proof of injuries will help to bolster the complainant's story.
