The number of domestic assaults reported to Jersey police fell last year compared to 2015.
Latest crime figures show 265 incidents were brought forward last year - compared to 309 the previous year.
Chief Officer Mike Bowron says there had been an increase in reported incidents in the years before that as a result of a police campaign to encourage people to come forward.
