This is a Freedom of Information Act request How many community resolution orders have been issued for each of the last three years? Please can a breakdown of the offences committed be given?

Does the force hold information of the nationality or asylum status of people handed community resolution orders? If so please provide the number of asylum seekers handed resolution orders for each year / a nationality breakdown for each year.

Freedom of Information Act Request Please could you provide us with a list of all female victims of homicide killed between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024 (inclusive) which your authority has been responsible for investigating and, for each victim: 1. the date of the homicide; 1. the names of the victims and the accused / perpetrator; 1. the age of the victim; 1. the ethnicity/race of the victim; 1. the relationship between the accused and the victim; 1. the sex of the accused / perpetrator; 1. the ethnicity/race of the perpetrator; 1. if identified, the way in which the victim was killed; Also, if possible, we would appreciate the following information. 1. whether there were any previous reports from the victim (or any third party) regarding the accused / perpetrator; and 1. whether there were any previous reports and / or convictions of any other offences related to violence against women perpetrated by the accused / perpetrator. However, if you are unable to provide information on points 9 and 10, please provide information on the first eight points only. I understand that at times, information we request is already available in the public domain. However, to ensure information in the Femicide Census is robust, verifiable and useful in turn as a learning tool for the police, we kindly ask that your force provides us with the information directly, without redirecting us to news sites or weblinks. Further to this, please note it is not possible nor correct to establish the race/ethnicity of a victim from publicly available information, such as news reports. I therefore kindly request that race/ethnicity is always only provided by your force. Our intention is to develop the Femicide Census (including by populating it with reliable data of the kind that you can provide us with) so that it can be used to analyse patterns in fatal male violence towards women. At the Police Regional Leads & Stakeholders for Domestic Abuse meeting on 1St February 2024, the imminent FOI requests were discussed and completion was encouraged by Asst Commissioner Louisa Rolfe. Our work on the Femicide Project has received widespread press coverage and interest from third parties. Previous Femicide Census reports are available at: https://femicidescensus.org/reports/ I understand that the timeframe for responding to an FOI request is 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could provide the requested information in your preferred format to me at the following email address: veronica.jaso@femicidecensus.org."
