Crimes of Violence

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department’s reports entitled The economic and social costs of crime (Second edition), published on 23 July 2018, and The economic and social costs of domestic abuse, published on 21 January 2019, if she will publish any information held by her Department on the differences of methodology that were used to generate the estimated unit costs in cases of (a) violence with injury, (b) violence without injury and (c) rape in each publication.

Answer

The economic and social costs of domestic abuse report (published January 2019) outlines the methodology applied to calculate costs, and how these differ when compared to the approach taken in the economic and social costs of crime (published July 2018).

Unit costs are produced in both reports in the cases of (i) violence with injury, (ii) violence without injury, and (iii) rape.
