(asked on 9th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people convicted of domestic violence have convictions for violence against (a) two, (b) three and (c) more than three victims.
This question was answered on 17th October 2017
The Ministry of Justice does not hold this data. Offences involving domestic abuse can take various forms and are prosecuted under the offence in law that best reflects their nature and circumstances, for example, harassment, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, a public order offence. These offences can take the form of domestic abuse or non-domestic abuse and data collected from courts does not distinguish between the two.
