'For partner abuse alone, the proportion of male victims who are
victimised by a female is certainly greater than 90%'
By MRA-UK: In The Great Covid Domestic Abuse Epidemic That Never Was I reported data for incidents of domestic abuse obtained via FOI from police forces in England and Wales. For most police forces I also obtained offender or suspect data, disaggregated by sex, for calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Here I report the analysis of those data.
I also make some observations regarding offending by, and against, trans people based on a couple of police forces’ data.
The impatient can skip to the Conclusions.Bear in mind throughout that the data refer to domestic abuse not partner abuse, so, for example, parent-child abuse and child-parent abuse will be included, as will other victim-offender combinations within the home.
Police forces variously referred to “offenders” or “suspects”. Here I draw no distinction and shall use “offender” to mean either/both.
