Thank you for your enquiry.
The data for the tables mentioned in your FOI request were supplied by to us by the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice. Unfortunately, we are unable to breakdown these data further, and are therefore unable to specifically separate out number of arrests and prosecutions for domestic abuse and violence against disabled people. We do not hold any additional data.
Police recorded crime data is sent to us from the Home Office. If you contact them directly at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk, they may be able to help you further.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for data on convictions. They publish Statistics each quarter, including defendants prosecuted, which may be of help to you. You can contact them directly to enquire about the data you need at ESD@justice.gov.uk.
Alternatively, the Crown Prosecution Service might be able to provide you with more information. They can be contacted via this email: enquiries@cps.gov.uk.
