Increase in 'Honour-Based' Crimes in England

The number of 'honour-based' crimes in England has increased by over 60% in the past two years, with instances including assaults, death threats, female genital mutilation, forced marriages, and rapes. The rise is believed to be influenced by global political and social issues, as well as delays in the family court system. South Asian communities in Britain, with a significant Muslim population, are identified as having higher prevalence of honour-based violence.
