This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Bristol statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Bristol statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Bristol-specific metadata information.

| Calculations |
The data is presented as found, the original source specifies the methodology as the following: Local Authorities (LAs) are allocated the crude rate of the Police Force Area (PFA) within which they sit. The method to calculate the value for each LA, based on the PFA they are covered by, is as follows: Gather the latest Local Authorty District to Community Safety Partnership to Police Force Areas lookup. This is available through the following link: https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/search?collection=Dataset&sort=name&tags=LUP_LAD_CSP_PFA At present, the lookup from LA to PFA is geographically coterminous when aggregating district councils to county councils, meaning that this lookup can be used in conjunction with a lookup aggregating from Local Authority District to Counties, in order to find the PFA for each upper tier LA. The latest lookup for Local Authority District to Counties is available through the following link: https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/search?collection=Dataset&sort=name&tags=LUP_LAD_CTY Calculate the total number of domestic abuse-related offences and incidents by summing the number of domestic abuse-related offences from Table 9 with the number of domestic abuse-related incidents from Table 10, by Police Force Area and time period. Gather the mid-year population estimates of those aged 16 and over for each upper tier LA, for the preceding calendar year. For example, if calculating the number of domestic abuse-related offences and incidents for the year 2015/16, the 2014 mid-year population estimates would be used. Mid-year population estimates are available through the following link: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/populationestimatesforukenglandandwalesscotlandandnorthernireland Using the lookup created to allocate PFAs to each upper tier LA, aggregate the populations for each PFA, for each time period. Calculate the rate of domestic abuse-related offences and incidents for each PFA by dividing the number of domestic abuse-related offences and incidents by the mid-year population and multiplying by 1,000. Using the lookup created to allocate PFAs to each upper tier LA, assign the rate of each PFA to the respective upper tier LA. Note – data for Government Office Region (GOR) and England are presented at source, so confidence intervals can be calculated for these regions. |
