PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Crimes of Violence: Wales (8 March 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many instances of violence against women were recorded in (a) Cardiff and (b) Vale of Glamorgan in each of the last 24 months.

Asked by:
Stephen Doughty (Labour)

Answer

The data requested is not available. The Home Office collects aggregate data against a range of crime types from all police forces but these do not identify the gender of the victim.

We are developing the Home Office Data Hub to gather more detailed crime level data from forces, including the potential to collect the gender of victims and present statistics on it in the future. Forces are gradually migrating to supplying their main crime data to the new system.

The recent Office for National Statistics publication "Focus on Violence and Sexual Offences":

highlights partial and experimental statistics on proportions of victims by gender based on a subset of forces.
