 "summary": "The share of adults aged 16 and over in England and Wales who experienced domestic abuse in the last year – any, by a partner or by a family member, and any for women and for men – from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, since its new questions in the year to March 2024.",

 "notes": [
  "The share of people aged 16 and over in England and Wales who experienced domestic abuse in the last year, as Table 2 of the ONS's domestic abuse tables gives it from the Crime Survey for England and Wales. The survey has asked new questions since the year to March 2024, whose estimates the ONS says cannot be compared with those of its earlier questions, so the hub shows no earlier year.",
  "The figures come from part of the survey's sample, so the ONS asks that they be read with caution. A person can experience more than one type of abuse, so partner and family abuse add up to more than any domestic abuse."
