Crimes of Violence: Cambridgeshire
Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offenders received a police caution for grievous bodily harm in each of the Cambridgeshire Constabulary basic command units in each year since 1997. [299928]
Mr. Alan Campbell: It has not been possible to respond to the hon. Member in the time available before Prorogation.
Cybercrime
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offences of unauthorised access to computer material with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences have been recorded in the last four years; and how many convictions have resulted. [298077]
Alan Johnson: Information is not available in the form requested. The relevant offences are those under section 2 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. In terms of police recorded crime, such offences are recorded under Home Office offence classification 53B 'Preserved other fraud and repealed fraud offences (pre Fraud Act 2006)'. Section 2 offences cannot be separately identified from other offences recorded within that classification.
Information showing the number of defendants found guilty at all courts for offences under Section 2 has been provided by the Ministry of Justice for 2004 to 2007. Data for 2008 are planned for publication on 28 January 2010.
The statistics relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offence for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences the principal offence is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe.
The recorded crime and courts proceedings datasets are not directly comparable. The police recorded crime data are based on the number of offences recorded in each financial year. Prosecutions and convictions data are collected by the Ministry of Justice and are based on the number of offenders. These data are published on a calendar year basis and are counts of persons.
| Number of defendants found guilty at all courts for "unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences", under Section 2 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990, England and Wales, 2003 to 2007( 1,2) | |
| Offence: Unauthorised access to computer material with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences | |
| Number | |
| (1) The number of defendants found guilty in a particular year may exceed those proceeded against, as it may be the case that the proceedings in the magistrates court took place in the preceding year and they were found guilty at the Crown Court in the following year, or the defendant was found guilty for a different offence to the original offence proceeded against. (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. | |
