answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Domestic violence and abuse is a dreadful crime and has no place in our society. Tackling it has been one of this Government’s top priorities. We are determined to support victims in rebuilding their lives and reporting these crimes, and to make sure perpetrators are brought to justice. We have piloted and rolled out Clare's Law and domestic violence protection orders; extended the definition of domestic abuse to cover controlling behaviour and teenage relationships; run two successful campaigns to challenge perceptions of abuse; and placed Domestic Homicide Reviews on a statutory footing to make sure lessons are learned from individual tragedies. More recently we have added an amendment to the Serious Crime Bill at Commons Committee stage to create a new offence of domestic abuse.</p><p> </p><p>Information held centrally by the Ministry of Justice on the Court Proceedings Database does not include the circumstances behind each case beyond the description provided in the statute. It is not possible separately to identify from this centrally held information how many people imprisoned for contempt of court have also been victims of a crime. This detailed information may be held on court records but is not reported centrally to the Ministry of Justice. As such, the information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 03/02/2015 17:50:01 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2015 answer text <p>Information about the numbers of offenders who participate in Restorative Justice activities, and the outcomes from those activities, is not collated centrally.<br> <br> We are committed to ensuring that good quality, victim-focused Restorative Justice is made available for victims and offenders at all stages of the criminal justice system across England and Wales. Research by the Ministry of Justice of a number of Restorative Justice pilots suggests that Restorative Justice has the potential for positive impacts both on victim satisfaction and on re-offending, with evaluation of the pilots finding that overall there was an estimated 14% reduction in the frequency of re-offending.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 03/02/2015 17:21:17 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Driving offences can have very serious and sometimes devastating consequences for victims and their families. That is why the Government is toughened the law by closing loopholes relating to breath tests conducted by the police.</p><p> </p><p>The number of breath tests carried out by police in England and Wales between 2008 and 2012, the latest year available, and the number of tests that were positive or refused is set out in the table below. For reporting purposes the Home Office does not differentiate between ‘positive’ and ‘refused’ breathe tests. If an individual refuses a breath test, this is an offence which carries the same maximum penalty as a positive breath test.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of breath tests</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Positive/Refused</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>711,658</p></td><td><p>91,666</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>815,290</p></td><td><p>93,348</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>736,846</p></td><td><p>84,436</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>685,992</p></td><td><p>80,761</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>682,558</p></td><td><p>75,868</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The table below sets out the total number of offenders found guilty of drink driving offences in England and Wales per year between 2009 and 2013 (the latest year available) and in December of each year.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total number of offences </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Of which December =</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>68,335</p></td><td><p>5,041</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>53,305</p></td><td><p>3,823</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>50,320</p></td><td><p>3,774</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>50,192</p></td><td><p>3,498</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>47,844</p></td><td><p>3,645</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 03/02/2015 17:15:39 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
