Cardiff University
Levels of serious violence in England and Wales fell by almost a third in 2020, reflecting COVID-19 lockdowns and other restrictions.
Analysis by Cardiff University’s Violence Research Group shows 56,653 fewer people were treated in hospital for violence-related injuries in 2020 compared to 2019.
Data gathered from 133 NHS hospital emergency units showed that 119,111 people attended for treatment of violence-related injuries in 2020, down from 175,764 in 2019.
Emergency hospital treatment for violent injury among males and females declined by 33% and 29% respectively in 2020 – the biggest falls since Cardiff University’s first report on violence from this NHS perspective 20 years ago.
Declines were found in all age groups and were greatest (66%) among children aged under 11.
