The Home Office does not hold data on the number of incidents of stalking reported to the police or on the number of people arrested for stalking. The Home Office holds data on the number of offences of stalking recorded by the police since April 2014 when stalking became a separately recorded classification (previously, stalking offences were included within harassment). The police recorded 1,682 stalking offences in the six month period April to September 2014. They are published in the quarterly Office for National Statistics publication of \u2018Crime in England and Wales\u2019.

The most recent data are available in Table A4 in this link:

The Ministry of Justice holds information on the number of defendants proceeded against at magistrates\u2019 courts and those found guilty at all courts for stalking.<\/p>

Domestic violence is a very important issue and we treat allegations of domestic violence very seriously. Where an allegation of domestic violence is made to the Service police and they retain jurisdiction, they will investigate the matter fully; or, if an allegation is being investigated by the Civil police, the Service police will provide assistance as required. However, domestic violence is not a crime classification, but can be recorded under the crime classification of violence; for example battery, assault or grievous bodily harm. For the Service police to establish which of such recorded offences are as a result of domestic violence would require an individual review of all cases, which could be provided only at disproportionate cost.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226339/answer/previousversion/50574", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-23T16:42:50.27Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Armed Forces: Domestic Abuse"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many incidents of domestic violence were reported to the military police in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4253", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Seema Malhotra"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Feltham and Heston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Seema Malhotra"} ], "uin" : "226909"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226340", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226340/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Coalition Government signed the Istanbul Convention on 8 June 2012 signalling its strong commitment on tackling violence against women and girls.

The UK already has some of the most robust protections in the world against violence towards women and we already comply with the vast majority of the articles to the convention. Primary legislation will be needed to comply with the extra-territorial jurisdiction provisions in Article 44 of the Convention before it can be ratified.

Ministers are currently considering the extent to which we need to amend the criminal law of England and Wales for compliance with Article 44 prior to ratification of the Convention. Any changes necessary to the criminal law in Scotland and Northern Ireland prior to ratification are matters for the devolved administrations.<\/p>

The UK Government is firmly committed to delivering its obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). The UK\u2019s seventh periodic report<\/a> to the committee was submitted in 2012.<\/p>

Following the UK\u2019s CEDAW examination in July 2013 the committee made a number of observations and recommendations<\/a>. The Government has been asked to respond to these in July 2017 in our 8th Periodic report. The Minister for Women and Equalities has written to her ministerial colleagues in relevant departments asking them to take forward the recommendations.<\/p>

The committee asked the Government to respond to two of their recommendations before 2017 \u2013 they have sought a response to their recommendations on abortion in Northern Ireland and on legal aid and access to justice in November 2014 and 2015 respectively. The first of these responses<\/a> was submitted in November 2014.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are also currently working on extending CEDAW to the overseas territories of Anguilla, Bermuda, Gibraltar and the Cayman Islands.<\/p>
