FOI 440780
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 440780
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 4th November 2025. Please find below the response to your request:
REQUEST 1:
How many reports of harassment have been made by women in 2025 (year to date)?
REQUEST 2:
How many reports of harassment made by women have led to a charge in 2025 (year to date)?
Reply
Searches have been completed, and West Mercia Police hold the information requested.
Caveat: The request asks for harassment reports made by women. A person reporting an offence may or may not be the victim of the offence. We have assumed the request is therefore for female victims of harassment offences and thus the data provided is for searches completed on ‘victim’ and ‘associated victim’ in the person link reason field and not ‘person reporting’.
