FOI Reference: FOI/2021/3362
You asked
I am writing to make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request regarding your Homicide in England and Wales annual reports. I am hoping that more information would be able to be made available regarding homicide victims under 1 year of age beyond what is posted in Table 4 of the appendix.
Specifically, I am looking for information regarding the relationship between the infant victim and the individual who perpetrated the homicide.
Ideally, this would be broken down by offender gender as well (at least as it pertains to parents).
We said
Thank you for your request.
The data in the homicide appendix tables comes from the Homicide Index, which is held by the Home Office.
Although we publish the homicide data, we don't have access to the Homicide Index, and unfortunately, we do not hold the requested breakdown.
The Home Office may be able to help you further and can be contacted at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
If you have any further questions, please email us at crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
