FOI 620-24 Domestic Violence by Juveniles
Enquiry Reference: 620 - 24
I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request. Below is your request and our response.
In the 2023 calendar year how many cases of domestic violence did you investigate where the victim was an adult (aged 18 or above) and the alleged attacker was a juvenile (aged 17 or below)? Please provide an age breakdown of these juveniles who were investigated and a breakdown by gender.
*Please note the definition of domestic abuse is the victim and suspect are aged over 16 and therefore the below would only cover when the suspect is aged 16 or 17
The below table shows the volume of domestic related crimes where the victim was aged over 18 at the time and the suspect was aged either 16 or 17 at the time of the crime.
