A new law could see abusive partners banned from the family home for a month - but why did they turn violent in the first place?
What makes someone snap and lash out at their other half?

Nicky Campbell speaks to John in Dover, who admits abusing his wife for 20 years and Rachel in Cumbria, whose husband threatened her with a knife.
His guests include Chief Constable Brian Moore from the Association of Chief Police Officers; Helen Perry, the director of Women's Aid in Manchester; and Mark Brooks, chairman of the ManKind Initiative, a charity that supports male victims of domestic abuse.
