Honour Based Violence
Monday 27th February 2017

Asked by: Nusrat Ghani (Conservative - Sussex Weald)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, how many cases dealt with by the CPS were flagged as being cases of honour-based violence in the most recent year for which data is available.

Answered by Jeremy Wright

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) uses a monitoring flag to collect data to show the number of defendants prosecuted for offences relating to ‘so-called’ honour-based violence (HBV). The flag is applied where any offence of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse has been carried out in the context of HBV. During the financial year 2015-16 the CPS received 216 HBV referrals from the police, 182 of these were prosecuted.
