Charity Karma Nirvana, who supports victims and survivors of HBA, welcomed the Government’s latest plans, warning HBA “remains one of the most hidden and complex forms of violence in our society”. New figures released by the Home Office show the Met Police recorded 539 HBA offences in the year to March, a 35% increase from 398 the year before. The force implemented a new crime recording system in February 2024, which the Home Office said is likely to have impacted local figures and driven a national increase.
