The publication included\u00a0its analysis of the abuse\u00a0scales as recommended by the University of Bristol and Women\u2019s Aid, with the aim of providing a better national picture of the prevalence of domestic abuse and\u00a0to\u00a0better contextualise the headline prevalence measure\u00a0which showed\u00a0that an estimated 2.2 million women and 1.5 million men have experienced domestic abuse in the past year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After decades of supporting and working with survivors, we are acutely aware of the challenges that are presented when it comes to measuring the prevalence of this heinous crime. We know that countless survivors will not report their experiences to the police \u2013 due to a lack of trust in policing, or feelings of shame \u2013\u00a0meaning that police data is severely limited. The Office for National Statistics collates domestic abuse data through its Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), which is based on a household survey and does not depend on reporting to the police. This data comes with its own\u00a0limitations and\u00a0underplays\u00a0the\u00a0gender asymmetry that we know exists in domestic abuse.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The aim of the abuse scales released this week is to group together different types of victims that experience domestic abuse based on the abusive behaviours and their impacts. For example, the abuse scales show that women experienced significantly higher rates of domestic abuse in Clusters 2 and 3 (which indicate medium and higher numbers of abusive behaviours and impacts) than men. For partner abuse specifically, women were over three times as likely to experience higher numbers of abusive behaviours and impacts &#8211; 4.1% of women were grouped as experiencing partner abuse recorded as Cluster 3 compared to 1.3% of men.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite this step forward, this data breakdown still has significant limitations \u2013 for example, the scales will only apply to the experiences of abuse from the age of 16, ignoring the experiences of children and young people.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whilst the ONS questions ask respondents whether they have experienced domestic abuse in the past year, they do not ask about the impact of this for the same period. The abuse scales instead measure the impact of abuse experienced by victims since the age of 16. It is therefore not possible to differentiate between when the abuse occurred and when these impacts were felt. This means we cannot know whether these impacts are recent, ongoing, or date back many years. We know from our work with survivors that\u00a0many women experience long-term\u00a0impacts\u00a0from domestic abuse, including economic, along with many experiencing\u00a0post-separation abuse,\u00a0sometimes for a significant length of time.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Additionally,\u00a0whilst the abuse scales<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">account for the number of different abusive behaviours a victim experienced, the frequency of experiencing the same behaviour multiple times is not measured by the survey, apart from for physical abuse. The scales do not make any assessment or comparison of the severity of behaviours or\u00a0impacts;\u00a0however, we know\u00a0that\u00a0the severity of domestic abuse disproportionately\u00a0impacts\u00a0women.\u00a0The\u00a0overwhelming\u00a0majority of domestic homicide victims\u00a0are\u00a0female\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(65.4% or 231 victims)<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0and\u00a0most\u00a0perpetrators\u00a0are\u00a0male\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(224 out of 231; 96.97%)<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">1<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ONS\u00a0is\u00a0still finalising\u00a0the abuse scales\u00a0methodology\u00a0as part of\u00a0its\u00a0work\u00a0to\u00a0redevelop\u00a0domestic abuse statistics.\u00a0We urge the ONS to accept\u00a0all of\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/womens-aid-respond-to-updated-crime-survey-for-england-and-wales-questions-from-the-office-of-national-statistics\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">recommendations<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0made by the University of Bristol\u00a0and partners\u00a0including Women\u2019s Aid, Respect and the College of Policing,\u00a0and we call on the government to use the abuse\u00a0scales for a more\u00a0accurate\u00a0and detailed measurement of the prevalence of domestic abuse.
