520 _aThis project was designed to investigate how the police responded to the anticipated rise in domestic abuse during the lockdown period and how the courts would deliver justice to victims once they reopened. Questionnaires were sent to all the 43 police forces in England and Wales (25 returned) and interviews were conducted with Domestic Abuse Leads from 20 geographically dispersed forces of different sizes. Deeper data dives were done in five force areas and these included interviews with Police and Crime Commissioners, Chief Officers of various ranks, and those working in Witness Care Units. Representatives of the Bar Council and the Magistrates Association, Shadow Ministers/ Ministers with relevant portfolios, and policy officers for the Office of the Commissioner of Domestic Abuse were interviewed about the difficulties of policing, and securing speedy justice for victims of domestic abuse. A statistical analysis of receipts (cases sent to the courts), hearings, and disposals in court cases between October 2019 to May 2021 was carried out using reports from the Crown Prosecution service (CPS), Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS), Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI), the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), and reports from NGOs. Finally, a documentary analysis of updates and communications from the government and other agencies between March 2020 and August 2021 was conducted, specifically regarding the court backlog and projected recovery plans.
