This report doesn't entirely surprise me. A business owner involved in towage and contracted to the Police told me in the course of their work they monitor the Policy radio frequency. After the law banning smoking in pubs was passed the number of domestic violence incidents shot up. The explanation put to me was those men who had previously knocked off work and spent the rest of the night at the pub, were now buying their booze and going straight home, with their mates in tow. Not easy to see how this might drive up the potential for domestics to develop. Another story for the "unintended consequences" file.
These men (and some women too) would be better off all in one place picking fights with each other. A place easily and quickly accessible to the cops. And more importantly, away from children.
Who’s More Stasi: Britain or Germany?

No doubt it will come as a surprise to you - but domestic violence affects all cultures and all demographic groups. It is most certainly not just the domain of low-lifes who cannot smoke at the pub.
"The hellaciously ridiculous notion that women and children routinely lie about rape and abuse is one that must be put to bed if violence against women is to receive an adequate response from society. Without a shift in public opinion, future generations of women are doomed to lives lived in the shadow of abuse and rape ~ GenderGeek."
Women do not just spend the day having sex and thinking of ways to defraud welfare agencies Ms Mitchell.
