Details

Please note that it has come to our attention that table 5.16 of Court Proceedings was incorrect when originally published.  This table has now been replaced with a corrected version.

The annual release, presented on a calendar year basis, covers offenders dealt with by formal police cautions, reprimands or warning, or criminal court proceedings in England and Wales.

The order of chapters follows the flow of cases through the criminal justice system. As in previous years, more detailed data for the calendar year covered are published separately in six volumes of supplementary tables.

Court level sentencing data are now available for the first time as part of the commitments made in the Ministry of Justice’s Structural Reform Plan, in accordance with public data principles. The data will provide members of the public with information about what happened in their court and the sentences given.

The report is released by the Ministry of Justice and produced in accordance with arrangements provided by the UK Statistics Authority.

The Criminal statistics, England and Wales 2009 were published on 21 October 2010.

The supplementary tables (Excel spreadsheets in zip files) were published on 21 October 2010.

Sentencing Statistics (annual) (NS)

Changes to the statistics were published on 20 October 2010.
