There were a record number of domestic abuse offences recorded in Wiltshire last year, new figures show.
Women’s Aid said urgent changes are needed to improve police responses to domestic abuse as many survivors are still hesitant to report it.
Home Office data shows 7,418 domestic abuse related crimes were recorded by Wiltshire Police in the year to March 2023. It is a slight increase from 7,402 offences the year before and the highest on record.
