Written question asked by Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru) on Monday, 9 October 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 11 October 2017. It was answered by Jeremy Wright (Conservative) on Tuesday, 17 October 2017 on behalf of the Attorney General.
Social Media: Misuse
- Question
-
To ask the Attorney General, how many prosecutions there were for abusive behaviour on social media platforms in each of the last three years; and how many of those prosecutions resulted in a conviction.
- Answer
-
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain a central record of the number of prosecutions or convictions for abusive behaviour on social media platforms. This information could only be obtained by examining CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
