<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
