Domestic abuse rate per 1,000 population over 16 (12021) Metric type
- Help text
- Domestic abuse-related incidents and crimes recorded by the police, crude rates per 1,000. This is calculated as the sum of the number of domestic abuse related offences recorded by the police plus the number of domestic abuse-related incidents recorded by the police. The total is divided by the over 16 population of the area and multiplied by 1,000 to give a crude rate per 1,000 population for each police force area. Local Authorities are allocated the crude rate of the police force area within which they sit.
Domestic abuse-related offences and incidents recorded by the police in those aged 16 or over. Domestic abuse related offences and incidents are defined as 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. Offences have been recorded as a crime, whereas the number of incidents refers to those that were not recorded as a crime and the two categories are mutually exclusive.
In line with crime data methodology, resident populations of the year preceding the abuse incident data are used to generate rates. See Table 6c on the ONS user guide to crime statistics for more information. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/methodologies/userguidetocrimestatisticsforenglandandwales#statistical-conventions-and-methods
Figures for domestic abuse incidents in previous years were not split into incidents and crimes, but contained all incidents regardless of whether they were treated as a crime or not. This figures in this indicator include the new methodology which captures data relating to the new categories of all domestic abuse related crimes and domestic abuse related incidents. These figures are not comparable with data released in previous years. 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. Due to updated source data being produced, which supersedes data released in previous versions, figures for 2015/16 onwards have been refreshed.
