Wife beating up during World Cup

Startling new research shows a surge in domestic violence reported to police on England's World Cup match days this year.

Wife-beatings rose by up to 31 per cent a day on each of England's five games in the tournament, with alcohol being a factor.

A Home Office report concluded the police should plan to deal with a surge in domestic violence cases on major sporting occasions just as they already prepare for public order problems such as fights in town centres.

It is the first time the government had published results of its £1.3 million domestic violence enforcement campaigns, which ran over eight weeks in February and March, and during the Fifa tournament.

 

The biggest surge in reports of domestic violence was on Saturday June 10 when England beat Paraguay 1-0.

Ministers also highlighted the use of innovative techniques to combat domestic violence, including secret video cameras in victims' homes and police 'helmet cameras' to gather evidence as officers arrive at the scene.

There was a 31.41 per cent increase among the 19 police forces in England and Wales which took part in the project, compared with records from the same day of the week in an earlier anti-domestic violence campaign.

England's 2-0 defeat of Trinidad on Thursday June 15 led to a 31.36 per cent increase.

The David Beckham-captained team's final bow - the 1-3 defeat on penalties by Portugal on Saturday July 1 - saw a 30.42 per cent increase.

England-Sweden's 2-2 draw on Tuesday June 20 led to a 17.7 per cent rise and the 1-0 defeat of Ecuador on Sunday June 25 resulted in the lowest increase of 11.69 per cent.

On average, domestic violence in the 19 forces increased 25 per cent on England match days.

Association of Chief Police Officers spokesman and Deputy Chief Constable of Surrey Police, Brian Moore, said: 'We know that football and alcohol can provide excuses for violent people to be abusive at home as well as in the streets.

'Our strategy to police big sporting events in the future will need to manage domestic as well as public place violence.'

He added: 'This is not the fault of football - this is the fault of violent people taking any excuse to be abusive.'

Home Office minister Baroness Scotland said: 'The results of this first domestic violence enforcement campaign are extremely encouraging in that they highlight the successes that can be won in protecting victims and bringing offenders to book when innovative and new policing techniques are put to use.

'Domestic violence is a cowardly crime that will affect one in four women during their lifetime and, on average, claims the lives of two women each week - killed by a current or former partner.

'We want to make sure that those suffering abuse behind closed doors have the confidence to come forward and are then given the support and protection they so badly need.'

She urged football clubs and sporting groups to join the Corporate Alliance Against Domestic Violence.

[ann3boys]

putting on a serious face on those stats, I think they were also trying to show that maybe the reporting increased, not only the actual beatings. It's good to know that more persons are making the reports, and that the police are actuall taking note, and taking action. remember domestic vioence isn't only man beating woman, but also abusing the children. enough children get beaten to death because they cry or wet themselves, or just because...

nothing funny there at all..all over the world..

[slates]

Hear nah, it might surprise nuff folks to know dat is real men does get licks from dey "oman" (just so yuh know Mad ras, yuh didn have to go dey - de St. Mary's comment).

Men might be ashamed to report, so police records is not way yuh have to check for statistics. But emergency room records does reveal de story. I did an EMT course once and dat was a startling revelation.
