Domestic Abuse Victims 07/23

FOI Reference: 07/23

 

Request:

 

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 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022 inclusive by Age, Ethnic Origin and Gender.

 

For ease of reference, please incorporate a summary total by Age, Ethnic Origin and Gender both Force Wide and by Police Division.

 

 

Response:

 

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, the details of which are as follows:

 

Please note: The information outlined below is not fully accurate as there a number of instances in which the age, ethnicity and/or gender of the victim as well as the division has been classed as unknown (i.e. where that field has been left blank/unpopulated or in terms of age where a zero or an incorrect age has been populated on the system utilised i.e. -1). To fully and accurately answer this request would require reviewing all records in which ‘unknown’ has been outlined to ascertain the relevant age, ethnicity, gender and/or division where applicable (if recorded) which would result in the application of a Section 12 exemption as it would exceed the 18 time limit/threshold.
