The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 created the offence of harassment and latterly, as amended by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, stalking. The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 came into effect on 25 November 2012 and introduced two new offences of stalking, by way of Section 2A and Section 4A, into the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold any data which shows the number of defendants charged with and prosecuted for offences of stalking or the number of these who were previously convicted of similar offences. However, management information is held showing the number of offences of stalking in which a prosecution commenced from each year from 2013/14. The table below shows the number of these offences to the latest available year, 2021/22.

The Home Office does not routinely collect data on the number of domestic abuse victims killed by a partner previously convicted of such an offence. However, the Home Office has funded the Domestic Homicide and Suspected Victim Suicides Project since 2020. This is led by the National Police Chiefs\u2019 Council and the College of Policing and hosted by the Vulnerability Knowledge and Practice Programme.<\/p>

<\/p>

The second 12-month report was published on 05 December 2022 and includes the analysis that within intimate partner homicides, the proportion of suspects previously known to police for domestic abuse was 51% in Year 1 and 63% in Year 2.<\/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. 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.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4816", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Derbyshire Dales"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Miss Sarah Dines"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-01-23T16:27:30.307Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-01-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Domestic Abuse: Homicide"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an estimate of the number of domestic abuse victims killed by a partner previously convicted of such an offence in each of the last 30 years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4268", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Reed"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve Reed"} ], "uin" : "125376"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1567779", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1567779/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Notes:<\/p>

1. Data were extracted from the Oleeo recruitment system. Oleeo is a live system so records are subject to change.<\/p>

2. The figures used here are based on applications submitted between 01 April 2017 and 30 November 2022 inclusive, as of 2 December 2022.<\/p>

3. Data was only collected on Oleeo from 1 April 2017 and so data is not available for earlier dates.<\/p>

4. Data for 2022 is incomplete and is only available up to and including 30 November 2022.<\/p>

5. Data provided show the number of applications rather than the number of applicants since Oleeo data is at the application level.<\/p>

6. Figures included in our response only cover data available in our Oleeo system, so any recruitment that is not entirely processed on Oleeo will be incomplete.<\/p>

7. The majority of prison officer recruitment is at Band 3 and is external to the civil service.<\/p>

8. The majority of Band 4 and Band 5 recruitment is internal to the Civil Service. These figures include internal progression to Band 4 and 5 roles.<\/p>

9. These figures include applications to the "Unlocked Graduate Scheme", and to Operational Support Grade to Prison Officer / Youth Justice Worker fast track campaigns.<\/p>

10. Figures do not include recruitment campaigns managed by external companies.<\/p>

11. This data only includes recruitment for Public Sector Prisons (PSP).<\/p>

12. Youth Justice Worker applications are included in the count of Prison Officer applications.<\/p>

13. During the pandemic in 2021, we rapidly re-entered the market with an accelerated recruitment campaign to increase joiners, capitalising on a buoyant marketplace. However, as industries began to reopen, and competition in the marketplace significantly increased, our application volumes began to fall.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3969", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Damian Hinds"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Hampshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Damian Hinds"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-01-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-01-25T16:22:14.987Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-01-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prison Officers: Recruitment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many applications were received for a band 3-5 prison officer position in each year since 2010.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4268", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Reed"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve Reed"} ], "uin" : "125377"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1567780", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1567780/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
