(asked on 17th January 2023) - View Source
Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how many people charged with domestic abuse offences had been previously convicted of such offences in each of the last 30 years for which figures are available.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold any data which shows the number of suspects charged with domestic abuse offences after having been previously convicted of similar offences. The CPS does not hold any data on recidivism. Proven reoffending statistics are held, maintained, and published by the Ministry of Justice. |
