Crime: Convictions

Question: (6) how many people have been convicted of an offence of absconding by person released on bail in England and Wales in each year since 1998;

Answer: The available information has been placed in the Libraries of the House (tables 1 to 15).The Court Proceedings Database holds information on defendants proceeded against, found guilty and sentenced for criminal offences in England and Wales. Specific information on the circumstances of an offence are not held centrally and it is therefore not possible to identify whether an offence arising from tackling an intruder occurred in a residential or retail property.Cautions and court proceedings data for 2009 are expected to be published in the autumn, 2010.
