uin	35959
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2022 answer text <p>The Home Office does not routinely collect data on the number of domestic abuse victims killed by a partner previously convicted of a domestic abuse offence. However, the Home Office has funded the Domestic Homicide and Suspected Victim Suicides Project since 2020. This was led by the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the College of Policing and hosted by the Vulnerability Knowledge and Practice Programme to monitor domestic homicides during the pandemic to build our evidence base on domestic homicides and domestic abuse perpetrators.</p><p>The first 12-month report was published on 25 August 2021 and includes the analysis that of the 58% of all suspects previously known to police as suspects (133) and four-fifths (82%) were known to police for domestic abuse offending. This was a combination of suspects known solely for domestic abuse offending and those known for both domestic and non-domestic abuse offending. Expressed as a proportion of the whole dataset, this means that 48% of suspects were previously known to police for perpetrating domestic abuse.</p><p>Reducing domestic homicide is a priority for the Home Office and as part of this in the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan published in March 2022, we have committed to improving our knowledge about domestic abuse through better data. Any improvements in data on and knowledge of domestic abuse can be fed back into the system to tailor and refine the response to domestic abuse.</p><p>The Home Office continue to fund the Domestic Homicide Project in order to further build the evidence base on what works to prevent domestic homicide and the second year report will be published in Autumn 2023.</p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 19/07/2022 11:20:31 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway

uin	34939
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2022 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice does not hold the data requested centrally and information could only be identified by manually searching case records at disproportionate cost. Offences involving domestic abuse can take various forms and are prosecuted under the offence in law that best reflects their nature and circumstances, for example, harassment. These offences can take the form of domestic abuse or non-domestic abuse and data collected centrally from courts does not distinguish between the two.</p><p>The Government is committed to tackling this abhorrent crime, demonstrated by our landmark Domestic Abuse Act passed last year, bringing in important new protections and support for victims in court and creating new offences such as of non-fatal strangulation and suffocation. Building on the Act, the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan published in March seeks to transform the whole of society’s response in order to prevent offending, support victims and pursue perpetrators, as well as to strengthen the systems processes in place needed to deliver these goals.</p><p>In May, we published our draft Victims Bill and wider package of measures, to put victims at the heart of the criminal justice system. The Bill will amplify victims’ voices and entitlements, strengthen transparency and the oversight of victims’ treatment by criminal justice agencies, and improve support for victims.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 15/07/2022 16:35:59 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
