SINGAPORE - Family violence has been on the rise since circuit breaker measures kicked in on April 7, according to latest police figures, and this has prompted the authorities to take a more proactive approach to help high-risk victims.

From April 7 to May 6, there were 476 police reports filed for offences commonly associated with family violence.

This was a 22 per cent increase compared with the monthly average of 389 for such cases before the circuit breaker period, the police said in a statement on Thursday (May 14).

The offences include causing hurt, using criminal force,　assault, criminal intimidation, and wrongful confinement.

With the circuit breaker - which encourages Singaporeans to stay at home to curb the spread of Covid-19 -　extended to June 1, the authorities are giving victims of family violence more support.
