Burglary: Birmingham
Mr. Godsiff: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes of burglary were recorded in Birmingham in each year since 2005. [312779]
Mr. Alan Campbell: The available information is for the Birmingham Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) area and is given in the following table:

Crime
James Brokenshire: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what funding his Department has allocated to (a) the Tackling Knives Action Programme and (b) the Tackling Gangs Action Programme for (i) 2009-10 and (ii) 2010-11. [311138]
Mr. Alan Campbell: In March 2009 the Home Office committed £5 million to Phase II of the Tackling Knives and Serious Youth Violence Action Programme (TKAP) for 2009-10, to address serious youth violence within the 13-24 age range. Further funding of £2 million has been made available since then. No announcement has been made on plans for 2010-11.
The Tackling Gangs Action Programme (TGAP) was a six-month intensive programme of work launched in September 2007, which ended in March 2008. No funding was therefore provided to TGAP during the periods stipulated in the question.
Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which (a) 10 police forces and (b) basic command units recorded the (i) largest reductions in crime and disorder rates in the last 10 years and (ii) lowest overall crime rates in the latest period for which figures are available. [311752]
Mr. Alan Campbell: Because of the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard in 2002-03 data for years prior to that are not directly comparable.
Table 1 gives the 10 police force areas with the highest decreases in total recorded crime between 2002-03 and 2008-09.
Table 2 gives the 10 Basic Command Units with the highest comparable decreases over the same period. Many forces have re-organised their Basic Command Units over time which means that comparisons for those BCUs affected are not possible.
Table 3 gives the 10 police forces with the lowest overall crime rate per 1,000 population in 2008-09. Table 4 gives the 10 lowest rates at Basic Command Unit level.

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much has been spent on crime awareness campaigns in universities in England and Wales in each of the last five years. [312091]

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many (a) muggings and (b) snatch thefts of mobile telephones were recorded in (i) London and (ii) England and Wales in each year since 1998-99. [312092]
Alan Johnson:
The information requested is not centrally available from the Home Office as muggings is a popular rather than legal term and aggregate returns from police
forces are based on criminal offences. The aggregate returns also do not include details of items stolen.
Crime: Birmingham
Mr. Godsiff: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes involving the use of a knife were recorded by police in Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency in the last three years. [312192]
Mr. Alan Campbell: The Home Office collects data on knife and sharp instrument offences via a special additional data collection. Data are collected at force level only so data are not available for Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency.
Mr. Godsiff: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many recorded incidents of robbery there were (a) in total and (b) per head in Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency in the last three years; [312193]
(2) how many incidents of causing death by careless driving when under the influence of drink or drugs by 16 to 24 year olds there were in Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency in each of the last three years. [312195]
Mr. Alan Campbell: Information for Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency is not collected centrally.
Data are provided for Birmingham Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP).
In 2008-09, data were collected separately for the following offence codes:
4.4-causing death by dangerous driving;
4.6-causing death by careless driving under influence of drink or drugs; and
4.8-causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving.
Data are provided for all of these offence codes to enable comparisons with previous years when data are only available as a combined total.
Additionally, data on offences of causing death by careless driving when under the influence of drink or drugs cannot be broken down by age of suspect, so data provided are for the total of these offences recorded in Birmingham CDRP.
The available information relates to offences recorded by the police and the number of offences and rates per 1,000 population are given in the following table.
