A new method of analysing crime statistics finds that violent crime in England and Wales is increasing, not decreasing.
They found the rate of domestic violence has been increasing since 2009. The rate of violence against women has also been increasing since 2009. But violent crime against men is still decreasing.
The rate of violent crime overall has started to increase since 2009, driven by the changes in domestic violent crime and in violent crime against women.
These findings contradict the official view that violent crime in England and Wales is continuing to fall.
