Emergency Services: Crimes of Violence
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what information his Department holds on compensation awards resulting from the offence of Assault on an Emergency Worker by type of emergency worker.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on the number of compensation orders and average amount of compensation at criminal courts in England and Wales for a wide range of offences including assault on an emergency worker in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics
However, the type of emergency worker assaulted under the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018 is not held centrally in the Court Proceedings database. This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would incur disproportionate costs.
