Ten Years Later: Police Forces still not on Target for Protecting Victims of Honour-Based Violence

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

Honour-based violence (HBV) has seen sustained increases within post COVID-19 figures (Siddique, 2024), despite national force-wide training in attempt to educate and sensitse officers on the matter. This poster aims to present a visual perspective on the last decade’s approaches by police forces in response to HMIC’s report ‘The depth of dishonour: Hidden voices and shameful crimes’ (2015), using recent data presented in reports by HMICFRS on ‘Police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy’ to support contrasts made. This will be in effort to illuminate the widespread and frequent nature of national HBV crimes, which have historically been unaddressed and underreported within England and Wales. Viewers of this poster will gain insight into statistical data demonstrating the frequency of HBV, alongside observations made on demographic compositions within victim profiles. This will further highlight the discrepencies in gender reporting of HBV, drawing focus on both female and male victims, as male victims have been significantly misunderstood in past rhetoric.
