About the study
The purpose of the 2011 amendment to the Restraining Order Act was to “strengthen the order’s crime prevention effect and improve the protection the order is intended to provide.” On the basis of this study, the National Council has found that the application of the Act has remained largely unchanged subsequent to 2011. The aims of the reform do not appear to have been achieved.
