Response
Please see below a table showing the total victims of occurrences flagged as honour based violence in the 2020-21 financial year.
In line with your request, the below is a count of victims of these offences, not of the number of crimes recorded. This means victims who were involved in more than one crime have been counted only once.
In addition to the above, please note that crime figures published internally may differ slightly from those published by the Home Office. One reason for this lies in the fact that certain crime types require additional validation before they are sent to the Home Office, meaning there is potential for delay in this data being published by the Home Office. Additionally, whereas our database is updating at all times, the Home Office receive data just once a month. As such, should any updates or changes to outcomes or classifications be recorded, these would not be updated in the Home Office figures until the following month.
