Description

Each year, West Midlands Police runs a seasonal domestic abuse campaign that urges victims not to suffer in silence over Christmas - helping to spread the word through a mass ticketing drive on the region's buses and trams, in addition to supporting posters and flyers distributed to local pubs, hospitals and community centres.

The ticketing campaign - which runs from this week (17 December) until the New Year - also features a strong warning to offenders that they run the risk of spending Christmas behind bars.

Reports of domestic abuse to the force over the festive season (Dec 1 to Jan 4) have fallen in recent years to 2,694 last year from 4,382 in 2009-10.

However, Public Protection officers fear the actual numbers could be higher as some victims feel pressure to put on a brave face over Christmas and New Year.
