Dear Mr Wiffen,
I write in connection
with your request for information dated 20th of October 2006. I note
you sought access to the following information:
'How many
male and female victims of domestic violence were recorded by each
of the police districts (inside Norfolk Constabulary Police Force
area) in each of the last 3 full financial years?'
Following receipt
of your request, searches were conducted within the Norfolk Constabulary
and I can confirm that the information you have requested is held.
Results of the
Searches:
Please note, that
the figures shown in the table above represent the number of incidents
were the victim of domestic violence was recorded as a male or a female.
In considering these figures, it should be recognised that they do
not take into account instances where an individual may be a repeat
victim. Therefore the actual number of persons who have been the victim
of such incidents may be lower than the actual recorded number of
incidents.
For clarification
purposes, I have also provided a map of Norfolk, which details the
geography of the three Police Divisions operated by the Norfolk Constabulary.
The areas of the map prefixed with a ‘B’ fall within the
‘Central Division’, those prefixed ‘C’ within
the ‘Eastern Division’, and those prefixed ‘D’
within the ‘Western division’.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Kindleysides

These are provided
by 4 Norfolk District Councils and these are specifically for victims
of domestic violence.
There are few
refuges in Norfolk and keeping locations, even districts, anonymous
and secure is paramount to the safety of the women and children they
accommodate because of this we do not wish to release information
regarding the District Councils that could be used in any way to identify
the location of services delivered.
