Information is not available in the form requested as it is not possible to track individual offences through to their outcome at court.
In addition, data specifically for the Norwich North constituency is not collected centrally in either the police recorded crime data or the court proceedings data collected by the Ministry of Justice.
The available recorded crime data is for the Norwich Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership area. There were 17,890 offences recorded in 2007-08 and 16,176 in 2008-09, a fall of 10 per cent. Data for 1997 is not available.
