In November 2020, we awarded a research contract to a consortium led by the University of Bristol 1, also involving the College of Policing, Women’s Aid and Men's Advice Line. to investigate the use of alternative survey modes to ask respondents about their experiences of domestic abuse.

to explore the issues with the current survey questions and data collected, alongside the user requirements.There were two main parts to the research: In Autumn 2020, we put out a research tender to take forward the redevelopment of domestic abuse statistics. Our research to develop survey questions to measure controlling or coercive behaviour is ongoing and now forms part of our wider redevelopment work on domestic abuse statistics. In addition, we were interested in understanding future requirements and priorities for continuing the time series, making improvements to the measurement of domestic abuse and recording the frequency and nature of abuse.Īnalysis of the user survey data highlighted a number of issues with the data currently collected and suggested that a wider program of improvements was required. In summer 2020, we carried out a user survey to understand more about how users of the CSEW domestic abuse statistics made use of the data. As such, the questions tested in the split-sample experiment were removed from the survey in April 2019 to allow this work to take place. Working closely with topic experts it was decided that the questions required further development and testing before we could be confident that they were fit for purpose. Our April 2019 publication outlined our research and findings.Īnalysis of the new questions concluded that there was uncertainty in whether the measure adequately captured victims of the offence. Between April 2017 and March 2019, we included new questions on the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) on a split sample basis. The questions were developed and evaluated through the ONS Domestic Abuse Statistics Steering Group (DASSG), drawing on both the legislative guidance and advice from topic experts. In response, we conducted research to develop survey questions to measure its prevalence. The offence of controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate or family relationship was introduced as part of the Serious Crime Act 2015. Developing a measure of controlling or coercive behaviour As the work progresses, we will continue to engage with stakeholders to provide updates and seek feedback.
Stata update update#
This update outlines our recent research, findings, and plans for redeveloping domestic abuse statistics over the coming months. In line with wider CSEW redevelopment, we are also looking at survey mode to consider alternative options. Given these, significant changes to the questions are needed. there is a greater user need for data to understand the nature of the abuse.they do not measure the number of incidents or frequency of abuse.they exclude the offence of coercive or controlling behaviour introduced in 2015.
