Can you please provide the details of the number of Domestic Abuse Victims reporting to your Police Authority broken down as follows:

For the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 inclusive by Age, Ethnic Origin and Gender.

Decision

Please note that Domestic Violence flags should only be added where the victim is 16 plus. Therefore any victims below that age are child abuse victims rather than domestic abuse victims.
