Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 7 July 2003, Official Report, column 647W, on robbery/ burglary victims, how many injuries were sustained in muggings and robberies in each year. [125796] Ms Blears: Data on the number of injuries sustained in muggings and robberies in the specified years is not published. However, the British Crime Survey (BCS) is able to provide trend estimates of the number of incidents of mugging and robbery in England and Wales (Table A), additionally the BCS also collects information on the proportion of violent incidents involving injury (Table B). Violent incidents from the BCS can be classified into a violence typology comprising domestic, mugging, stranger and acquaintance incidents. Violent crime from the BCS can also be separated into robbery, wounding, common assault, and snatch theft. The information regarding injuries sustained for this latter breakdown is not published prior to 2001-02 BCS interviews. Mugging is a popular rather than a legal term, comprising robbery, attempted robbery and snatch theft from the person. The BCS does not cover incidents against those aged under 16, nor those not living in private households.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of (a) serious injury and (b) death there have been involving victims of (i) robbery and (ii) burglary in each of the past five years. [122111] Ms Blears: (a) Data on the number of cases of serious injury involving victims of (i) robbery and (ii) burglary are not held centrally. The British Crime Survey (BCS) collects some information on injuries sustained in violent incidents. Violent incidents from the BCS can be classified into a violence typology comprised of domestic, mugging, stranger and acquaintance incidents. Violent crime from the BCS can also be separated into robbery, wounding, common assault, and snatch theft. The information regarding injuries sustained for this latter breakdown is not published prior to 2001-02 BCSinterviews. Mugging is a popular rather than a legal term, comprising robbery, attempted robbery and snatch theft from the person. The BCS does not cover incidents against those aged under 16 or those not living in private households. Available information is given in the following table. Injuries sustained in muggings (1998 BCS, 2000 BCS and 2001/02 BCS interviews) Percentages _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1998 2000 2001-02 2001-02 Minor bruise/black eye 24 14 15 18 Severe bruising 14 12 17 21 Scratches 7 10 6 7 Cuts 12 4 11 13 Broken bones 1 1 2 2 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. Results for muggings should be treated with caution due to the small number of incidents. 2. More than one type of physical injury may have occurred. 3. More than one response was allowed. (b) The numbers of deaths arising from robbery and burglary during the years 1997-98 to 2001-02 are itemised in the following table. Deaths involving victims of robbery and burglary 1997-98 to 2001-02 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1997-98 1998-99 1999-2000 2000-01 2001-02 Robbery 23 28 23 23 37 Burglary 13 13 9 3 12 Total 36 41 32 26 49 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Data as at 8 October 2002, figures are subject to revision as cases are dealt with by the police and the courts, or as further information becomes available.

Sandra Gidley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what research and analysis his Department has commissioned into street violence against women. [108156] Hilary Benn: Police-recorded crime statistics cannot provide information on the proportion of all violent crimes that take place in the street; nor do they provide information on victim characteristics. However information on the location of violence is available from the British Crime Survey (BCS). This found that a quarter of (24 per cent.) all violent crimes took place in the street. The street was the second most common location for violent incidents. The most common location of violence was the home. Violent crime measured by the BCS can be classified into four sub-groups: domestic, mugging, stranger and acquaintance violence. Women were the victims in 81 per cent. of domestic incidents, 33 per cent. of acquaintance violence incidents, 18 per cent. of incidents of stranger violence and 43 per cent. of muggings. Source: British Crime Survey 2001-02. Home Office Statistical Bulletin 7/02. Half of muggings and a quarter of violence involving stranger and acquaintance took place in the street compared to just six per cent. of incidents that could be classified as domestic violence. Separate figures are not published for men and women. Source: British Crime Survey 2001-02. Home Office Statistical Bulletin 1/03.

In 2000 `transport' also included travelling in a car or taxi. 6 Indicates that there were no incidents in this category. Source: 2001-02 BCS interviews covering crime in the 12 months prior to interview. Excludes `don't knows'. In addition to the annual British Crime Survey, the Home Office Research Development and Statistics Directorate commissions other research relevant to the study of street violence. So far in 2003 the Home Office has published two relevant studies, although neither focus exclusively on women. Home Office Research Study 254 looks at the nature of personal robbery and examined over 2,000 robbery reports in seven police forces areas. Women made up 24 per cent. of robbery victims and six per cent. of offenders. Of those who were victims of robberies, women were more likely than men to be victims of `snatch robberies': Seven out of 10 robberies where the victim was a women involved property being snatched or grabbed from their person. Secondly, Home Office Research Study 265 is an evaluation of the TASC project which aimed to reduce alcohol-related violence and disorder, much of which takes place on the streets. This found that 17 per cent. of victims of violence and 12 per cent. of those arrested were women. The report identifies a number of examples of good practice in tackling this form of crime and disorder. Copies of the Research Development and Statistics Directorate's annual work programme since 1998-99 are in the House of Commons Library. A full list of Home Office Research Development and Statistics Directorate's publications is available from the website http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds.
