FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 460921

I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 2^nd March 2026. Please find below the response to your request:

Please provide the following information:

Total number of incidents: The total number of recorded domestic abuse or violent offences flagged as "Honour-Based Abuse" (HBA).

Keyword search: Within the "MO" (Modus Operandi) or "Summary" fields of domestic abuse reports, a count of how many records contain the keywords: "cousin", "consanguineous", or "first cousin".

Outcome data: For the incidents identified in Question 2, please provide a breakdown of the outcomes (e.g., Charge/Summons, Caution, Evidential Difficulties, or Case Closed).

Relationship Context: If held within your reporting system, a breakdown of the relationship between the victim and the suspect in these cases (e.g., spouse, sibling, parent).

If a keyword search of all domestic abuse files is deemed to exceed the cost limit, please prioritise the search within cases already flagged as Honour-Based Abuse
