Concerns about violence
Trygga hem – utan våld Degerfors We want the best for you and your loved ones.
Someone is concerned that there is violence in your relationship and so the police have come to your home.
You are not alone. Many people live in a relationship where violence occurs. Violence affects the whole family, including children and the people around you. Violent behaviour can include lashing out, getting angry easily, saying nasty things, throwing things or using economic violence. Criminal violent behaviour includes actions such as threatening, hitting, kicking, pushing, controlling, raping, sexually assaulting, abusing, stalking or damaging a loved one’s property.
Trygga hem – utan våld is a collaboration between the police, the prison and probation service, municipalities, healthcare providers and county administrative boards
We are working together to end domestic violence.
• Society does not tolerate violence.
• We do not want anyone to be afraid of someone who is close to them.
• We do not want children to grow up with violence in the family.
