<p>The latest data available relates to those in custody on 30 June 2019, aged 18
and over. Information is available for individuals whose relationship status had been
assessed by that date on the Offender Assessment System, which accounts for 2,437
women and 60,157 men.</p><p> </p><p>From these totals 1,525 female prisoners were
identified as having ever been the victim of domestic violence. This equates to 63%
of female prisoners.</p><p> </p><p>Figures for the extent of Offender Assessment System
coverage exclude “layer 1” assessments, which do not include questions on domestic
violence. Previous figures quoted for 2017 in the Answer of 9 October to Question
174010 included these, so percentages for 2019 are increased accordingly.</p>
