answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>The number of recalls to prison that were fixed-term, in England and Wales for the period April 2016 to March 2017 was <strong>7,515</strong></p><p> </p><p>The only basis for recall is the breach of one or more licence conditions. In some cases, this may involve further offending. The information in the table below is taken from table 5.10 of the licence recalls workbook (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2017). Whereas the published table provides reason for recall for all recalled offenders, the table below only includes prisoners who have been recalled on a fixed term recall.</p><p> </p><p>Anyone who commits a crime while on licence may face prosecution and potentially more time in prison. For more serious offences, they can be held in prison on remand until trial.</p><p> </p><p>Shorter fixed-term recalls are only issued to offenders who don’t pose a risk of serious harm to the public.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Recall Period</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Apr 2016 to </strong> <strong>Mar 2017</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Further Charge</p></td><td><p>2,795</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Non-compliance</p></td><td><p>2,951</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Failed to keep in touch</p></td><td><p>4,524</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Failed to reside</p></td><td><p>1,487</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Drugs/alcohol</p></td><td><p>442</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>744</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The figures in these tables have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2017 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice is committed to helping victims, including family members, cope with, and recover from, crime. The majority of the department’s victims’ services budget now goes to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to deliver support services for victims of crime in their local areas. The rest goes directly to victims charities and other organisations to provide support to victims.</p><p>The department uses a range of measures to monitor performance. Some services (delivered by charities and PCCs) provide information on the number and types of intervention, rather than the number of victims supported and therefore complete information on the number of victims supported cannot be provided.
