Crimes of Violence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been arrested for non-fatal strangulation in the last 12 months.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office does not hold the data requested.
The Home Office collects and publishes data on arrests in England and Wales, including reason for arrest, as part of the ‘Police Powers and Procedures’ statistical series. The data is available here: Police powers and procedures England and Wales statistics - GOV.UK
However the data is collected by wider offence group, for example “Violence against the person”, therefore data on arrests for non-fatal strangulation is not available.
