Strangulation Charges Skyrocket in England & Wales
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
Prosecutions for strangulation and suffocation in England and Wales have skyrocketed, with charges jumping almost sixfold in three years. The new law under the Domestic Abuse Act, which allows for up to five years in prison, has led to a surge in cases. Recent convictions highlight the severity of these crimes, often tied to domestic abuse or sexual assault. The CPS is now training staff and pushing strategies to protect victims and end this cycle of violence.
