star this property answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>Police recorded domestic abuse crimes have increased by over 60% in the last three years, demonstrating increased victim confidence to report and better police recording of these crimes. Overall, prosecutions and convictions for domestic abuse are both up since 2010 – by 20 per cent and 28 per cent respectively, with 76% of all prosecutions resulting in successful convictions, the highest proportion since 2010. However, the CPS are working closely with the police locally and nationally to ensure appropriate referrals are made by the police and to address any fall in referrals where needed. In November last year, MHCLG awarded £22 million for domestic abuse projects across the country. This is helping to provide over 2,200 new beds in refuges and other safe accommodation, as well as access to education and tailored employment and life skills guidance. MHCLG are also consulting on potential measure for sustainable delivery of support for victims and their children in accommodation-based services for domestic abuse across England. The Consultation ends on 2 August. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/support-for-victims-of-domestic-abuse-in-safe-accommodation" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/support-for-victims-of-domestic-abuse-in-safe-accommodation</a> The figures below relate to legal aid at the Civil Representation level. Legal aid for these matters is also available by way of initial advice and assistance under the Legal Help scheme. Application and percentage data is not held for Legal Help matters, as the decision on whether to grant funding is devolved to the solicitor in question. <table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial Year</p></td><td><p>Domestic Violence Applications</p></td><td><p>Granted</p></td><td><p>Proportion Granted</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>19,951</p></td><td><p>17,995</p></td><td><p>90%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>17,652</p></td><td><p>16,187</p></td><td><p>92%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>17,406</p></td><td><p>15,812</p></td><td><p>91%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>16,925</p></td><td><p>15,306</p></td><td><p>90%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>15,662</p></td><td><p>14,114</p></td><td><p>90%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>14,748</p></td><td><p>13,574</p></td><td><p>92%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>14,092</p></td><td><p>13,349</p></td><td><p>95%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>14,188</p></td><td><p>13,446</p></td><td><p>95%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19*</p></td><td><p>10,200</p></td><td><p>9,499</p></td><td><p>93%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial Year</p></td><td><p>Injunction Applications</p></td><td><p>Granted</p></td><td><p>Proportion Granted</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>19,951</p></td><td><p>17,995</p></td><td><p>90%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>17,647</p></td><td><p>16,182</p></td><td><p>92%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>17,395</p></td><td><p>15,802</p></td><td><p>91%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>16,925</p></td><td><p>15,306</p></td><td><p>90%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>15,661</p></td><td><p>14,114</p></td><td><p>90%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>14,746</p></td><td><p>13,572</p></td><td><p>92%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>14,090</p></td><td><p>13,349</p></td><td><p>95%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>14,188</p></td><td><p>13,446</p></td><td><p>95%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>10,200</p></td><td><p>9,499</p></td><td><p>93%</p></td></tr></tbody></table>*(Apr to Dec 2018) Please note that injunction figures, although being separately reported on here, are included as part of the ‘Domestic Violence’ category volumes displayed in the first table.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
