Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many allegations of coercive control in a domestic setting were investigated by the police in England and Wales in the last 12 months; and how many of those investigations led to a prosecution.
The Office for National Statistics publishes information on the number of coercive or controlling behaviour in an intimate or family relationship offences recorded by the police. This information is published in the ‘Crime in England and Wales: year ending March 2017’ statistical bulletin, which can be found here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/crimeinenglandandwales/yearendingmar2017
The Home Office does not hold information on allegations, investigations or prosecutions. Information on prosecutions is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice.
