§ Mr. McLoughlinTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes were committed by juvenile offenders in(a) West Derbyshire and (b) the East Midlands in each of the last two quarters for which figures are available; and how many cautions were issued. [141428]
§ Paul GogginsThe information contained in the table gives the number of juveniles (persons aged 10–17) convicted of all offences and those given reprimands and236W final warnings, during the last two quarters of 2001 in the East Midlands. It also contains data for the Derbyshire police force area, and, for persons found guilty, in the petty sessional areas of Derby and South Derbyshire and North East Derbyshire which cover the area of the West Derbyshire constituency.
The information collected centrally does not enable cautions in the West Derbyshire constituency to be identified. Neither is it possible to give the number of crimes committed by juveniles, only the number of juveniles who are found guilty of all offences.
Statistics for 2002 will be published on 11 December.
