  "Crimes the police in England and Wales recorded and identified as domestic abuse-related, the British Transport Police's among them, as Table 8 of the ONS's domestic abuse tables gives them from the Home Office's data hub. Police recorded crime statistics are official statistics, not accredited official statistics, as the table says.",
  "The Home Office changed its counting rules for conduct crimes in May 2023, and since April 2023 most forces have identified domestic abuse with a new tool, as the ONS's notes beside the table set out, so the latest years are not counted quite as the earlier ones were. The headline's share is of all crimes the police recorded in the year."
