24 Hour Domestic Violence Help-line

This 2004 by Victim Support looks at the impact of bereavement from homicide, and the frameworks used to offer support on this issue.

Prepared for the ACPO Homicide Working Group in 2003, this report summarises Findings from the Multi-agency Domestic Violence Murder Reviews in London.

This consultation paper sets out proposals for the format that domestic homicide reviews should follow. As part of their statutory duty under section 9(3) of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 local bodies will be required to have regard to the guidance when establishing reviews.

This bulletin is one of a series of supplementary volumes that accompany the main 2005/06 crime volume, Crime in England and Wales 2005/2006 (www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs06/hosb1206). It contains chapters on homicides and firearm offences, which contain mostly statistics of crimes recorded by the police. Headline figures for both measures were published in the main 2005/06 crime volume, but these chapters contain underlying detail that has not appeared before. There is also a chapter on intimate violence containing results from the 2005/06 British Crime Survey (BCS) self-completion module on domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. BCS figures for overall violence and other crime types are reported in the main 2005/06 crime volume.
