Homicides as a result of domestic violence;
Headline prevalence of domestic violence (as measured by the British Crime Survey Inter-Personal Violence module);
Numbers of (a) young people and (b) all people who think that violence is acceptable in some circumstances;
Percentage of domestic violence incidents with a power of arrest where an arrest was made related to incident and, of this, the percentage of partner-on-partner violence (within the Policing Performance Assessment Framework).
A new indicator covering rates of attrition in domestic violence;
The number of civil orders made;
A new Best Value Performance Indicator designed to assess the overall effectiveness of local authority services to domestic violence victims. This will shortly go out for consultation with local authorities, and it part of a suite of indicators which will be piloted in the autumn and introduced in April 2005;
An indicator relating to victim satisfaction with the support they have received from key agencies
