Mr. McNulty:
The funding for neighbourhood policing in Hampshire, including police community support officers (PCSOs), will increase by 46 per cent. from £4.8 million in 2006-07 to £7 million in 2007-08. By April 2007 Hampshire constabulary will have 333 PCSOs. They will play an important part in the
continuing roll out of neighbourhood policing which will further reduce the fear of crime and address antisocial behaviour.

[114452]
Mr. McNulty [holding answer 11 January 2007]: Data from the court proceedings database held by the Office for Criminal Justice Reform on the number of defendants proceeded against at magistrates courts in England and Wales for offences relating to cruelty or neglect of children for the years 1996 to 2005, are provided in the following table.
Information on the familial relationship between defendant and victim is not held centrally. From the court proceedings database it is also not possible to identify the number of prosecutions for common assault and battery where victims were under 18 years of age.
Suspects indicted for homicide by outcome of proceedings, where the victim was under 18 years old, England and Wales, 1995 to 2004-05 can be found in the following table.
Latest data from the Homicide Index were published in table 2.09 of Violent Crime Overview, Homicide and Gun Crime 2004/2005 (HOSB 02/06). The table provided shows the number of suspects indicted where the victim was aged under 18.

(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.

(1). As at 28 November 2005; figures are subject to revision as cases are dealt with by the police and the courts, or as further information becomes available. Figures for 2003-04 and 2004-05 are therefore likely to rise as cases progress through court. (2) Offences are shown by the year in which they were initially recorded by police as homicide. This is not necessarily the year in which the incident took place or the year in which any court decision was made. (3) In addition there were 402 suspects in 2004-05, for whom court proceedings were not completed by 28 November 2005. (4) Three corporate manslaughters were included in 2000-01 and one in 2001-02. (5) The offences for which these persons were indicted may nevertheless remain currently recorded as homicide. (6) This usually implies that the suspect has been dealt with for some less serious offence. Source: Based on table 2.09 of Violent Crime Overview, Homicide and Gun Crime 2004/2005 (HOSB 02/06). |
