§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes against property and crimes against people were(a) reported to each constabulary and (b) successfully prosecuted by each constabulary in the last three years. [36734]
§ Mr. MacleanThe available information is given in the tables. Table A gives the number of notifiable offences recorded by the police and table B gives the number of offenders found guilty at all courts. These tables are not directly comparable as it is not possible to match the number of offences committed against offenders convicted: court proceedings can occur in a different year from the crime; one crime could involve more than one defendant being found guilty; and some offenders convicted of one crime may have also committed other crimes for which they have not been caught or successfully prosecuted. A wider measure would also include cautions and informal action taken by the police, both of which do not result in a court appearance.
