question text

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of figures released following a freedom of information request showing that more than 160,000 victims of domestic violence in England withdrew their support for charges against their abusers in 2016, what percentage rise this represents compared with the previous 12 months; and what assessment they have made of the factors which led to those withdrawals.

answer text

The Home Office first published information on police outcomes for domestic abuse-related offences in ‘Crime outcomes in England and Wales: year ending March 2016’, available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/crime-outcomes-in-england-and-wales-2015-to-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/crime-outcomes-in-england-and-wales-2015-to-2016</a>. As this was the first time police forces were required to collect figures in this way it is not possible to compare them to earlier years. The Office of National Statistics has been clear that recent rises in recorded crime reflect improved processes and a greater willingness of victims to come forward there are too many instances where victims are unwilling to testify against their abuser. The Government expects police forces and Crown Prosecutors to use the available data, alongside local knowledge, to review performance in relation to domestic abuse in order to identify areas for improvement.
