To ask the Secretary of State for Justice on how many occasions the Crown Prosecution Service has advised the police to dispose of an offence via a community resolution order instead of charging in each of the last three years.
I have been asked to reply.
The Crown Prosecution Service is not involved in advising the police to dispose of an offence via a community resolution order instead of charging.
A community resolution can be issued by a police officer to both adults and youths as a proportionate response to lower level crime.
