Boris Johnson s government has changed its tune on the idea.
The UK government has confirmed it will introduce legislation to make non-fatal strangulation a criminal offence similarly to what New Zealand did in 2018.
Over recent years, campaigners in England and Wales have called on the local government to make non-fatal strangulation a specific criminal act rather than leaving it covered by common assault and attempted murder offences as it currently is.
Support for the new offence soared in January when former Victims Commissioner Baroness Helen Newlove tabled an amendment in the House of Lords proposing the change. ....

UK Politicians Urged to Make Non-Fatal Strangulation a Crime Under Domestic Abuse Bill
Advocates are concerned about a rise in domestic abuse cases amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
By Emma Batha
LONDON, Jan 5 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - British lawmakers said on Tuesday women s lives could be saved if non-fatal strangulation was recognised as a specific offence, amid renewed fears of domestic violence under a new lockdown.
Debate on the Domestic Abuse Bill in the upper parliamentary chamber, the House of Lords, coincided with the first day of a third lockdown, which will last at least seven weeks, to curb rocketing rates of a new strain of COVID-19. ....

British campaigners, politicians call for United Kingdom to follow in New Zealand's footsteps making non-fatal strangulation offence


The current Victims Commissioner Dame Vera Baird supports making a change. She says common assault doesn t reflect the magnitude of the offence while non-fatal strangulation was often used as a means of control and intimidation rather than an attempt at murder. 
It s not about intending to kill, it s about terrorising into submission, she said. This is a crime which has massive consequences, and is a hugely powerful weapon, but has no place in the current criminal lexicon.
Centre for Women s Justice lawyer Nogah Ofer told The Guardian that strangulation is undercharged. 
Although it’s a really terrifying and serious form of violence, there is often not a physical mark, or just a red mark - so police officers routinely treat it as common assault - the equivalent to a slap ....

It s not about intending to kill, it s about terrorising into submission.
Campaigners want England and Wales to follow in New Zealand s footsteps by creating a specific criminal offence for non-fatal strangulation. 
In 2018, the Family Violence (Amendments) Act was passed in Aotearoa, making strangulation or suffocation a new, specific family violence offence with a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment. That change came after a 2016 report from the Law Commission which detailed the physical and psychological impact on victims. 
Politicians and advocates are hoping to make a similar change in England and Wales, with former Victims Commissioner Baroness Helen Newlove on Wednesday saying she wants to table an amendment to the Domestic Abuse Bill in the House of Lords. ....
