Notes:	This research report looks reports on the implementation and outcomes of two domestic violence prevention campaigns, used by UK police in 2006. It looks at the correlation between sporting events and alcohol consumption and domestic violence. The two domestic violence campaigns were introduced between 3 February 2006 and 31 March 2006, and were prescriptive around three issues: improved investigation at call room; improved evidence gathering at scene; and targeting of offenders. They were directed solely at improving police performance in response to domestic violence. * intoxicated victims and witnesses – the report found that in 20.74% of incidents the victim was under the influence of alcohol, which resulted in statement not being taken. The Department of Public Prosecutions recommended that police take into account the amount of alcohol consumed, its effect on the witness, the witnesses ability to understand the section i9 certificate and whether or not the witness was coherent or not * The report discusses relevant legislation including the Human Rights Act 1998, which balances the right to protect the privacy of family life in Article 8 with protection of the right to life and the right not to be tortured and punished in articles 2 and 3. * This section contains records of data returns relating to the other information in the report.
