A earlier release contained an inaccuracy in the first line.
The inaccuracy has now been corrected in the release. The correct first line is as follows:
On average, Police receives an average of 460 reports of events every hour of every day. Of those, 22 reports are of family harm events. Reported family harm events have almost doubled in a decade, from 102,888 in 2013 to 191,640 in 2023.
