answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) collects finalised prosecutions data showing the sex of defendants for cases flagged as involving domestic abuse. Some, more limited, information is also available showing the identified relationship between defendant and complainant and whether the relationship is between people of the same or different sex.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the number of defendants prosecuted for domestic abuse where a relationship was identified as same sex (partner, ex-partner, spouse/civil partner or former spouse/civil partner), during each of the last ten years. It also highlights the number of defendants where the relationship has been recorded. This data is limited, which results in the number of defendants with an identified relationship being under-recorded.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Female Defendants</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Male Defendants</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>% of Relationships Recorded</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2010-2011</strong></p></td><td><p>28</p></td><td><p>56</p></td><td><p>16.7%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011-2012</strong></p></td><td><p>45</p></td><td><p>77</p></td><td><p>30.0%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012-2013</strong></p></td><td><p>54</p></td><td><p>84</p></td><td><p>47.7%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013-2014</strong></p></td><td><p>80</p></td><td><p>97</p></td><td><p>52.7%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014-2015</strong></p></td><td><p>127</p></td><td><p>129</p></td><td><p>55.4%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015-2016</strong></p></td><td><p>160</p></td><td><p>186</p></td><td><p>55.6%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016-2017</strong></p></td><td><p>136</p></td><td><p>141</p></td><td><p>52.4%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017-2018</strong></p></td><td><p>108</p></td><td><p>130</p></td><td><p>48.7%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2018-2019</strong></p></td><td><p>88</p></td><td><p>137</p></td><td><p>48.9%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2019-2020</strong></p></td><td><p>84</p></td><td><p>144</p></td><td><p>56.4%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data Source: CPS Case Management Information System</p><p> </p><p>While the CPS does not collate prosecutions data by county, data is available showing the number of prosecutions in each of the regional Areas of the CPS.

answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) published a report on CPS South East on 12 October 2021. The report found that the Area made strong charging decisions, and handled disclosure issues and victim and witness issues well. In addition, the report found that the quality of the Area’s RASSO casework was particularly good. HMCPSI will conduct a follow-up inspection of CPS South East next year to assess whether improvements have been made.</p><p> </p><p>HMCPSI are currently conducting an inspection of CPS Wessex, which includes the Isle of Wight, and will publish the report on the Area later this year. Recent CPS performance data shows that the Area’s magistrates’ court conviction rate and domestic abuse conviction rate are both above the national average.</p> more like this
