Transferability / replicability2/3
England and Wales' Domestic Abuse Act 2021 introduced a coercive control offence partly influenced by the Scottish model; Ireland, Australia and New Zealand have cited the course-of-behaviour approach in their own reform processes.
Impact on gender equality1/1
The Act captured a previously unprosecutable conduct category; 93% of charges proceeded to court and 84-91% conviction rates confirm victims gained meaningful legal protection they previously lacked.
Effectiveness1/1
Proceedings increased 67% in year two; the Act remained the only crime category to rise during COVID-19 court closures — evidence that police and prosecutors adopted the new framework rapidly.
Efficiency1/1
The reform used existing COPFS, police, and sheriff court infrastructure; the main investment was in police and prosecutor training, not new institutions.
Evaluated outcomes1/1
Scottish Government published interim and final reporting-requirement reports; the Scottish Parliament Justice Committee conducted independent post-legislative scrutiny (2022-23); Cairns published peer-reviewed analysis in Sage Journals (2020).
Sustainability1/1
Primary legislation embedded in Scotland's permanent legal system with evolving prosecutorial guidance, Scottish Sentencing Council guidance (2022), and continuing Justice Committee oversight.
Achievement / evidence1/1
383 convictions in 2020-21 alone for a previously un-prosecutable offence category; child aggravation convictions doubled from 39 to 90 — concrete, documented results.
Gender-mainstreaming embedding1/1
The Act explicitly recognises domestic abuse as a gendered crime; statutory guidance acknowledges that the vast majority of perpetrators are male; the course-of-behaviour design addresses patterns of gender-based control structurally.
Curator validation1/1
Scottish Government official criminal justice statistics (gov.scot), legislation.gov.uk primary text, Scottish Parliament committee scrutiny report, and peer-reviewed Sage Journals academic publication — all authoritative independent sources.
