Would the Minister be open to fresh thinking on this? If, for example, prisoners were given the opportunity to work, earn and keep money for themselves and their families, perhaps they could pay back some of that money to the victims of their crime and also pay tax on it, which would be of benefit to the public, as well as having a rehabilitative effect.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give a breakdown of crime statistics for (a) Hertsmere and (b) Hertfordshire for each year since 1997, including the most recent figures available. [96948] Mr. Denham: The number of offences recorded in the Hertsmere Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP), and theHertfordshire police force area for the years requested are given in the table. Currently, six key offence groups are recorded and published at Crime and Disorder Partnership level. Data have been collected at this level since 1 April 1999. All main offence groups are collected at police force area level. There was a change in counting rules for recorded crime on 1 April 1998, which would have the tendency to increase thenumber of offences counted. Numbers of offences before and after this date are therefore not directly comparable. Table A--Number of recorded offences in Hertsmere Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give a breakdown of the statistics for recorded crime in Hertfordshire by type of offence (a) on 1 May 1997, (b) on 1 June 2001 and (c) according to the most recent statistics which are available [75398] Mr. John Denham: The Home Office does not collect recorded crime figures on a daily basis. It should be noted that there was a change in counting rules for recorded crime on 1 April 1998, and a change in Hertfordshire Constabulary's boundary on 1 April 2000, both of which will have increased the number of offences recorded by the force. Recorded crime figures for the force from before and after these dates will therefore not be directly comparable. The figures for the financial year ending March 1998, and the year ending March 2002, which is the latest available, are given in the table.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will break down the offences committed within the Hertsmere police division in each year since 1992. [150050] Mr. Charles Clarke: The information requested was not collected centrally prior to September 1999 and is currently collected only for offences of violence against the person, sexual offences, robbery, domestic burglary, theft of a vehicle and theft from a vehicle. Table 1 presents the number of offences recorded in Hertsmere in the year to September 2000; there are no previous comparable year data held centrally. This information, and that on all other Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships, was published in table 5 of the Home Office Statistical Bulletin 1/01, "Recorded Crime England and Wales October 1999 to September 2000", available in the Library.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what account he has taken in implementing the Government's anti-drugs strategy of the relationship between drug-related offending by women and the number of women sentenced to imprisonment. [120439] Mr. Charles Clarke: In 1998, 968 females and 9,777 males were given an immediate custodial sentence for drugs offences (Great Britain). Statistics on drug-related offences are not collected by the Home Office, but by a programme of research at Cambridge University on behalf of the Home Office. This involves drug testing of arrestees, and indicates a strong connection between drug misuse, particularly heroin and crack/cocaine, and crime, and suggests that about one third of all property crime is committed in order to buy these drugs. The initial findings also showed that for most drug types, female arrestees were as likely, if not more likely, than males to test positive and that females were significantly more likely than males to test positive for opiates. Two key objectives of the Government's anti-drugs strategy are to reduce levels of repeat offending among drug misusing offenders and to increase the participation of problem drug misusers, including prisoners, in drug treatment programmes which have a positive impact on health and crime. This relates to men and women, but the strategy recognises that specific support services may be needed for certain groups including women. Counselling, Assessment, Referral, Advice, Throughcare (CARAT) services, in place in every prison, will be tailored towards the prisoner populations in each establishment. Also, research is to be undertaken to look further into the issue of women and drugs.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answers of 27 April 1999, Official Report, column 110, 18 May 1999, Official Report, column 295 and 26 May 1999, Official Report, column 149, on home detention curfews, what powers he has to revoke the licences of the 14 curfewees who were charged with an offence during the period of curfew and who remained on home detention curfew. [86058] Mr. George Howarth: The Secretary of State's powers to revoke the licence of any person subject to home detention curfew are set out in section 38A(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991, which provides that: "If it appears to the Secretary of State, as regards a person released on licence under section 34A(3) above-- (a) that he has failed to comply with the curfew condition; (b) that his whereabouts can no longer be electronically monitored at the place for the time being specified in that condition; or (c) that it is necessary to do so in order to protect the public from serious harm from him, the Secretary of State may, if the curfew condition is still in force, revoke the licence and recall the person to prison." In addition, on 1 January 1999, the Government implemented section 103 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. This means that a curfewee whose original offence was committed on or after 1 January 1999 and who is charged with a new offence committed during the home detention curfew period will be liable to have his licence revoked by the Secretary of State under section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991. The 14 curfewees referred to in the question are not liable to have their licences revoked by the Secretary of State under section 39 of the 1991 Act, as their original offences were committed prior to 1 January 1999, and there are no grounds for recall under section 38A(1) of the 1991 Act. However, breaches of licence conditions not covered by these provisions may be dealt with by the courts under section 38 of the 1991 Act and may result in a fine and/or recall to prison.
