Straight from the Crown Prosecution Service:
Honour crimes in London are on the increase, with police recording four a week since last summer.
They believe an honour killing is being committed every two months in the capital, a CPS London conference heard.
Across the country police are reviewing the disappearances and deaths of 122 young Asian women – 81 from London – over the past 10 years to establish whether they were killed for bringing shame on their families.
And who’s primarily responsible?
Delegates heard that most honour crimes in the UK involve South Asian families but cases have also featured Middle Eastern, West African, Turkish, Bosnian, Kosovan and Roma families.
Wikipedia has a failry substantial entry on the subject with a lot of links.
