Make breach of any court order a criminal offence

I feel it is wrong that people can breach a court order but the police often have no powers to enforce this, and people affected have to wait for the case to go back to court. This can be particularly serious in cases of harassment/domestic violence.

I want the Government to make it a criminal offence for any court order to be breached, so that the police have the power to take action in this situation.
