Rise Against Abuse CIC

Domestic abuse campaigners are calling for greater use of location tracking technology to monitor high-risk suspects following the murder of a woman in Renfrewshire last month. An online petition is calling for a "Stacy's law" in memory of Stacy Hunter who was killed in her home by her estranged husband while he was on bail. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdv… The campaign has been started by Lynne Mackenzie, herself a domestic abuse survivor, who lives a few miles from the isolated cottage where Stacy was killed in July. Her petition calls for high-risk domestic abuse perpetrators or suspects released on bail to have their location monitored using GPS equipment. This could include individually assessed exclusion zones around victim's homes or workplaces and alerts that trigger police responses when conditions are breached. You can read and sign her petition 'Stacy’s Law: Scotland’s Domestic Abuse GPS Protection Campaign' here: change.org/p/stacy-s-law-sco… Lynne Mackenzie is a co-founder of Rise Against Abuse @AgainstAbuseCIC, a not-for-profit group which supports those affected by domestic abuse, but she has started the petition in an individual capacity. Stacy's family now prefer her to be remembered by her pre-marriage surname Hunter, rather than her husband's name Mair.
