Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been charged with non fatal strangulation in the last 6 months.

The Home Office collects information on the number of investigative outcomes for offences recorded by the police in England and Wales, including for the subcodes ‘008/78 Racially or religiously aggravated non-fatal strangulation or suffocation’ and ‘008/77 non-fatal strangulation or suffocation’.

In the six months to 30^th June 2025, there were 3,621 charge/summons outcomes recorded by the police in England and Wales (excluding Humberside police, who were unable to provide data to the Home Office Data Hub for this period) for these non-fatal strangulation offences.
