Justice written question – answered at on 10 April 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice pursuant to the answer of 24 March 2014, Official Report, column 95W, on non-molestation orders, what the figure for previous convictions or cautions is for (a) male and (b) female offenders.
The following additional break down has been provided in addition to PQ 192243.
Male offenders receiving their first immediate custodial sentence for the criminal offence of breaching a non-molestation order in the 12 months ending September 2013 had received, on average, less than 1 (0.5) previous convictions or cautions for the same offence.
In the 12 months ending September 2013, nine females received their first immediate custodial sentence for breach of non-molestation order, of which six had no previous, one had one previous and two had two or more previous convictions or cautions for the same offence. Averages have not been provided for female offenders breaching a non-molestation order as the number of females is too small to provide a reliable estimate.
It is important to note that these figures are based only on those offences recorded on the police national computer (PNC) by an English or Welsh police force, including the British transport police. This database holds details of all convictions or cautions for breaching a non-molestation order since their introduction as a criminal offence in July 2007.
