Antisocial Behaviour: North East
Jim Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many (a) antisocial behaviour orders, (b) parenting orders and (c) curfew orders have been issued in each local authority in Tyne and Wear in the last 12 months. [314009]
Mr. Alan Campbell:
Antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs) became available from 1 April 1999. The latest available
data on the number of ASBOs issued cover the period 1 April 1999 to 31 December 2007. These data are not available below Criminal Justice System (CJS) area level.
Between 1 April 1999 and 31 December 2007, a total of 426 ASBOs were issued at all courts in the Northumbria Criminal Justice System area.
Parenting Orders under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 were piloted between 30 September 1998 and 31 March 2000 and commenced in England and Wales in June 2000. The Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003, the Criminal Justice Act 2003, Police and Justice Act 2005, and the Education and Inspections Act 2006 amended Parenting Orders to increase their flexibility and widen their availability.
The data provided are from the Youth Justice Board. The Home Office collects data on parenting orders as part of the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships survey but this is not published by area. Prior to 2008-09, the Youth Justice Board collected the number of parenting orders issued by youth offending team (YOT) area, as reported to it by youth offending teams including education-related orders where the YOT has been involved and also Parenting Orders made in combination with antisocial behaviour orders, Sexual Offences Prevention Orders and Child Safety Orders. In 2008-09, the Youth Justice Board only collected data on the number of Parenting Orders imposed at court in relation to Parenting Orders imposed under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, s8(1)(c), and Parenting Orders made in combination with Referral Orders, on the date that the court imposed the order on the parent during the reporting period. The available information is shown in table A.
Curfew orders with electronic monitoring were rolled out across England and Wales on 1 December 1999 following trials in seven areas. Section 37 of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 allows the courts to impose curfew orders on offenders. Data for curfew orders are not available below Criminal Justice System (CJS) area level. The available information is shown in table B.

| 2000-01 | 2001-02 | 2002-03 | 2003-04 | 2004-05 | 2005-06 | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | |
| Notes: 1. The Youth Justice Board is only responsible for answering the question relating to parenting orders. 2. While we do not have data on parenting orders broken down by local authority, we do have it broken down by YOT area. We are assuming that the YOT areas in Tyne and Wear include South Tyneside, North Tyneside, Newcastle-upon Tyne, Gateshead and Sunderland. 3. In 2008-09, the Youth Justice Board only collected data on the number of Parenting Orders imposed at court in relation to Parenting Orders imposed under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 s8(1)(c) and Parenting Orders made in combination with Referral Orders, on the date that the court imposed the order on the parent during the reporting period. Prior to 2008-09, the Youth Justice Board also collected data on Education Parenting Orders, i.e. those imposed under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, s8(1)(d), and also Parenting Orders made in combination with antisocial behaviour orders, Sexual Offences Prevention Orders and Child Safety Orders. 4. However to simplify the comparability of the data between the different years, we have not included the figures on Education Parenting Orders. YOTs were required to report Parenting Orders made in combination with antisocial behaviour orders, Sexual Offences Prevention Orders and Child Safety Orders up until 2007-08, but from 2008-09 are no longer required to do so in order to reduce the burden of data collection. Caution: These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing and may be subject to change over time. | |||||||||

These figures have been drawn from administrative data systems. 2. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system.
