However it is not just women that are affected by domestic abuse men are as well, 5% of men experience domestic abuse in a year (Home Office, 2011). In the British Crime Survey 2010/2011 it was reported that 30% of women experienced domestic abuse (BBC NEWS uk, 2012). There are many views surrounding domestic violence that suggest it is not a real policing matter, and therefore many people feel that they cannot report the abuse, such issues and police failings in domestic abuse cases, have created a long history of negative association surrounding the police and domestic abuse (walklate, 2007). Research has also shown that victims feel that the service the police provide is unsatisfactory (Cromack, 1995). Consequently, guidelines and codes of practice are frequently being changed and updated to ensure that shortfalls do not occur.

Alcohol may not necessarily cause people to commit crimes, but it plays a big part in people’s attitudes towards alcohol and how it may affect an individual when out drinking with friends or at home and how it may cause violence in a household. ‘Evidence does not establish that people who drink commit crimes nor does it prove that those who commit violent crimes drink to excess. It does reveal how often one is intoxicated when caught in the act of committing a crime. This is problematic if the very act of being intoxicated increases the probability of being apprehended (McMurran, M and Hollin, C, 1993: 7) Some studies have shown that age and gender have a factor in alcohol-related crimes, as well as the area the crime is taking place and the time of day. Public concern about ‘alcohol-related crimes’ often relates to offences: * “involving a combination of criminal damage offences, drunk and disorderly and other public order offences * Involving young males, typically aged between 18-30, but increasingly, also young females * Often occurring in the entertainment areas of town and city centres”.
