Home Department written question – answered at on 10 June 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the crime detection rate was for North Yorkshire police force in each year since 2004-05.
The information requested is shown in the following table.
Most of this information was also published by the Home Office in its “Crimes Detected in England and Wales, 2012/13” bulletin. Overall detection rates are available in table 3 for all police forces from the year 2005/06 onwards.

Detections have now been replaced by a new outcomes framework, which includes a broader range of “outcomes” for crimes dealt with by the police, and therefore provides greater transparency on how crimes are resolved. The former detections framework only covered a subset of the new outcomes and therefore of the ways crimes are “resolved”. Statistics for the year 2013/14 onwards will focus on the new outcomes framework, rather than detections.
Detection rates for offences recorded by the police in North Yorkshire (excluding fraud) | |
Overall detection rate (%) | |
2004-05 | 34.3 |
2005-06 | 34.9 |
2006-07 | 32.3 |
2007-08 | 32.9 |
2008-09 | 30.4 |
2009-10 | 31.1 |
2010-11 | 30.8 |
2011-12 | 32.1 |
2012-13 | 30.2 |
Notes: 1. The detection rates shown are calculated by dividing the total number of detections in each year by the total number of crimes in that year. However, the detections will not all refer to crimes committed in the year in question. 2. From 1 April 2007, new rules governing non-sanction detections significantly limited the occasions for which such administrative disposals can be applied. 3. Fraud offences are excluded because of the transition from police forces recording fraud to Action Fraud doing so. This transition took place during 2012/13, and so to allow a fair comparison over time, fraud offences and detections have been excluded for all years. |
