The Research and Documentation Unit, which is a unit under the Danish Ministry of Justice, has in December of 2006 evaluated the Removal and Powers to Issue Exclusion Orders Act. The purpose of the evaluation was to shed light on the extent to which the law has been applied, what has characterized the cases regarding expulsion, as well as how the police and social authorities have handled cases regarding expulsion.

The conclusions of the evaluation show, that the initiative to have a violent partner expelled from a joint home in most cases is taken by the police in informing the victim that such a measure is a possibility. This shows that the regulations regarding expulsion to a certain extent are unknown to the general public.

In addition, the evaluation concludes that only a small percentage of cases that meet the applicability requirements of expulsion, e.g. with regard to the type of assault and the cohabitation of the victim and perpetrator, actually lead to an expulsion.

The evaluation also sheds light on what characterizes the cases of expulsion. Expulsion is primarily the result of cases of violence, but in some instances also cases of threats as well as cases of particular brutal violence (cf. Section 245 of the Danish Criminal Code, as mentioned above). All of the expelled persons are male. The expellee has lived with the victim for an average of 7 years prior to the expulsion.
