§ Mr. SweeneyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the number and percentage of persons found guilty of further offences subsequent to(a) a term of imprisonment and (b) a non-custodial sentence in each police force area in England and Wales in 1981 and 1991.
§ Mr. JackThis information is not available. Regular reconviction studies are made, but these are based on relatively small samples and estimates of reconviction rates by police force area are not made. The most recent estimates of national reconviction rates were published in "Prison Statistics 1990".
