Lynne Featherstone:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many (a) males and (b) females were (i) charged with, (ii) prosecuted for and (iii) convicted of (A) drunk and disorderly behaviour, (B) driving after consuming alcohol or taking drugs and (C) causing death by dangerous driving when under the influence of drink or drugs in each London borough in each of the last five years. [153541]
Mr. Coaker:
Information on charging is not held centrally.
Information on the number of males and females prosecuted, and convicted for (A) drunk and disorderly behaviour, (B) driving after consuming alcohol or taking drugs and (C) causing death by dangerous driving when under the influence of drink or drugs in each London borough, for the years 2001 to 2005 can be viewed in tables A to C respectively.
In addition, penalty notices for disorder (PNDs) may be issued for the offence of being drunk and disorderly. No admission of guilt is required and payment of the penalty discharges all liability to conviction of the offence.
PND data held centrally are at Metropolitan and City of London Police Force area level only. The number of PNDs issued in these two areas for being drunk and disorderly was 3,928 to males and 499 to females in 2004, and 2,768 to males and 392 to females in 2005.
Detailed information on court proceedings including convictions, cautions and PNDs for 2006 will be published in the autumn of 2007.
N umber of persons proceeded against at magistrates court and found guilty at all courts for the offence of any person who in any public place is guilty, while drunk, of disorderly behaviour, by gender, and London borough(s) for the years 2001 to 2005( 1,2,3,4) |
