Dear Ministry of Justice,

On the 17th March 2023, Dominic Raab announced that further to above review made the following statement

"Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Dominic Raab said:

This government will do everything we can to protect vulnerable women, and keep in prison for longer those who attack or threaten them.

The changes I am announcing today will mean longer jail sentences for those who kill women in the home, by taking greater account of the specific factors involved, whether it is controlling and coercive behaviour or cases involving particular savagery known as ‘overkill’."

In addition , the review stated the Methodology used

"1.4 Methodology
1.4.1 The first part of the Review involved taking a sample of 120 cases of domestic
homicide between 2018 and 2020 where the victim was a partner or ex-partner of
the offender. The cases were identified from data supplied by the Crown
Prosecution Service/HMCTS, the Home Office Homicide Index and some ad hoc
research (from news reports and other sources). The majority of the cases were
concluded in the courts during the financial years 2018/2019 and 2019/2020

I request to know.

1. Please provide the GENDERS of all 120 cases used as the sample above which formed the basis of the whole review.

2. Explain why Mr Raab only referred to 'women' in his statement above, and that in fact on record , any such sentencing as he describes is for Male and Female Perpetrators, please provide where it is in Law, such sentencing will apply to WOMENN perpetrators as well as men.

Yours faithfully,

Jason Elliott
