Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

Domestic abuse rate per 1,000 population over 16 (historic method) (12020) Metric type
- Help text
- Domestic abuse incidents recorded by the police, crude rate per 1,000 population. This is calculated as the number of incidents of domestic abuse recorded by the police is divided by the over 16 population of the area and multiplied by 1,000.
In line with crime data methodology, resident populations of the year preceding the abuse incident data are used to generate rates. See Table 8c, User Guide to Crime Statistics for England and Wales, for further details http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/method-quality/specific/crime-statistics-methodology/user-guides/index.html
Domestic abuse incidents are defined as any incidence of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between adults, aged 16 and over, who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality. The previous definition did not include those aged 16-17. Earlier time periods have been recalculated using the new definition. This data source is only available at police force area level and will serve as guidance for local authorities within a police force area. Discussions are on-going regarding the longer term refinement of this indicator. It is difficult to obtain reliable information on the extent of domestic abuse as there is a degree of under-reporting of these incidents. Changes in the level of domestic abuse incidents reported to the police are particularly likely to be affected by changes in recording practices. These kinds of changes may in part be due to greater encouragement by the police to victims to come forward and improvements in police recording, rather than an increase in the level of victimisation. Previous domestic abuse data in the PHOF tool are revised in order to include final coding of incidents under investigation at the time of the data extract and data not submitted from police force areas previously.
This indicator has been replaced with a current method indicator which is not comparable to these figures. See 'Domestic abuse related incidents and crimes - current method'
