Picture: Pixabay THE number of domestic abuse rapes reported in Bradford to police rose by more than 30 per cent last year. Figures obtained from West Yorkshire Police under the Freedom of Information Act revealed reports rose 31 one per cent from the year before, while in the past two years only five reports – one per cent of reported offences - have led to people being charged. Meanwhile, the number of offences defined as domestic abuse rose by 264 in 2020 compared to 2019 in Bradford. When the Covid-19 lockdown began last March, concerns were raised by charities, campaigners and politicians that the ‘stay at home’ order would lead to a big rise in domestic abuse, with victims unable to escape from their abusers.
