Great Britain is cracking down on cowardly wife beaters and domestic abusers by considering a measure to inform women of their new mate’s abusive history.

The legislation would be similar to Megan’s law here in the states which keeps tabs on pedophiles and requires them to register when they move to a new area.

According to the Daily Mail, British women who fall in love with wife beaters and domestic abusers will be informed about their violent pasts.

Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, said she wanted to break the cycle of domestic violence by targeting “serial offenders” who “basically go from one relationship to another” beating up women.

This is a great idea in light of the frequent abuse that pop singer Rihanna suffered at the hands of her boyfriend Chris Brown.

The proposal being considered in Britain would also give power to law enforcement to ban offenders from the homes of women who are abused. This provision would supersede the need for protective orders in the cases of women who refuse, or are afraid to take out orders of protection against their abusers.

The British are always one step ahead of the U.S. when it comes to protecting it’s most vulnerable citizens. How do we get such a bill or law passed here in the United States to protect weak women like Rihanna?
