The Solicitor-General Harriet Harman, has called for neighbours to report men who beat their wives.
In an interview with The Independent, Ms Harman says a man who is guilty of domestic violence is just as much a criminal as a burglar.
She says attitudes need to be changed to ensure a blind eye is no longer turned to women's suffering.
She wants people to feel to compelled to act when women are harmed, in the same way as they do when violence involves children.
Should neighbours turn in violent partners or is domestic violence a 'private matter'? Will the government's proposal help to tackle violence in the home?
