Mr. Amess:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons have been victims of violent death since 1 January 2006; and how many victims of violent death there were between 1 January and 10 July in each of the last 10 years. [85143]
Mr. Sutcliffe:

The number of offences currently considered as homicide, recorded by police between 1 January and 10 July in each of the years 1996 to 2004-05, are given in the following table. Data for the periods April to July 2005 and January to July 2006 relate to financial years 2005-06 and 2006-07, full analyses of which will be published in January 2007 and 2008 respectively.

(1 )These data are on the principal offence basis.
(2) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts, and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. (3 )The sentenced figure can exceed those found guilty, as it may be that the sentencing took place in the Crown court the year after a person was found guilty at the magistrates court.
