Hi Michael,
Your information request
has been forwarded to me, I am a Contract Monitoring Officer for Gloucestershire's
Supporting People programme.
We have a number of refuges
around the county for women and children and also a resettlement programme
but neither of these provide support to men experiencing domestic
violence or support the perpertrators of domestic violence.
May I suggest that you
contact an agency we work with called GDVSAP (Gloucestershire Domestic
Violence Support and Advocacy Project). They will be able to inform
and signpost you to anyone who may provide this type of support. Their
contact details are as follows:
Steph Keeble - Manager
75-81 Eastgate Street
Gloucester
GL1 1PN
01452 524553
admin@domesticviolencesupport.net
I hope this helps and please
do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries.
Kind Regards
Lara Maizonnier

Dear Mr Wiffen,
On 26 October 2006 you
sent an e-mail constituting a request under the Freedom of Information
Act asking for the number of male and female victims of domestic violence
that were recorded by each of the police districts in each of the
last 3 full financial years.
Please see the tables below
detailing the figures requested.
2003/2004
124 male victims and 393 female victims in Cheltenham
54 male victims and 181 female victims in Tewkesbury
209 male victims and 668 female victims in Gloucester
78 male victims and 273 female victims in Forest
84 male victims and 249 female victims in Stroud
78 male victims and 172 female victims in Cotswolds
2004/2005
149 male victims and 598 female victims in Cheltenham
83 male victims and 267 female victims in Tewkesbury
218 male victims and 698 female victims in Gloucester
100 male victims and 295 female victims in Forest
118 male victims and 358 female victims in Stroud
75 male victims and 213 female victims in Cotswolds
2005/2006
190 male victims and 580 female victims in Cheltenham
97 male victims and 363 female victims in Tewkesbury
202 male victims and 839 female victims in Gloucester
111 male victims and 296 female victims in Forest
132 male victims and 364 female victims in Stroud
84 male victims and 205 female victims in Cotswolds
There is no crime class
of Domestic Violence, however any crime, such as criminal damage,
assault etc may have resulted from Domestic violence. These statistics
were recovered from crimes recorded as occurring between the relevant
times where a domestic violence maker has been added. If the same
person was the victim of domestic violence on more than one occasion
during the relevant time, each occasion is recorded separately. There
may be cases of domestic violence that have not been reported, and
on which we would obviously not be able to respond, and there have
been reports made to the police relating to domestic violence, but
where no crime could be recorded. For example, Between 4 June 2005
and 19 June 2006 there have been 1921 incidents recorded in the Cheltenham
and Tewkesbury division under the NSIR (National Standard for Incident
Recording) opening code C40 - Domestic (crime). Approximately 30 percent
of these incidents resulted in a recorded crime.
Before NSIR came into force
in June 2005 a different opening code was used for recording these
types of incidents (Disorder - 32 - Domestic). Between 1 Jan 2003
and 3 July 2005 there were 4885 incidents recorded in the Cheltenham
and Tewkesbury division with this opening code, of which approximately
25 percent resulted in a recorded crime.
If we can be of any further
assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
