Any citizen of the United Kingdom may request the police's record on domestic violence in a new partner.
British agents also may disclose such information on our own if they deem it necessary or desirable.
It's a waste of resources for the protection of victims' associations.
British police have discretion to disclose information on domestic violence for citizens to request their partners or believe you should do for the public good, according to new government guidelines presented Monday.
The Government of the United Kingdom has led a pilot program of twelve months in several counties of England and Wales to test the effectiveness of the initiative, aimed at preventing abuses in the home of repeat offenders.
Victims' associations believe that resources should be used to improve the response to complaints Under the plan, any citizen may request the police 's record on domestic violence of a new partner, while law enforcement may disclose such information by own initiative if they consider it necessary or desirable.
However, the associations of protection of victims have criticized the project saying it would be a waste of resources that, in his opinion, should be used to improve the response of police to complaints.
The government initiative, known as "Clara Law" -but does not involve a legislative change-has been introduced following a case that shocked the country when Clare Wood, a mother of 36 years, died in 2009 in Manchester ( North of England) at the hands of an ex-boyfriend with a long history of violence against women.
Domestic violence is a horrible form of abuse "Domestic violence is a horrible form of abuse . The fact that two people die at the hands of their partners or former partners each week in England and Wales shows how urgent is the need to act " said the interior minister Theresa May said in a statement.

However, the director of the organization Refuge, Sandra Horley, doubted that the project work as most of those responsible for violence in general, men are unknown to the police. Horley advocated for allocating resources to improve the response of law enforcement and support services to victims.
