<p>Recorded crime figures for the period 2010 to 2014 do not directly map on to the
two categories in the question. Data on human trafficking for sexual exploitation
is available for that period, and there were no cases of this crime type recorded
by North Yorkshire police in the years requested.</p><p>A separate ‘modern slavery’
crime classification was introduced in April 2015 covering all forms of human trafficking,
slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour. Figures for April to June 2015
are available in the statistical bulletin “Crime in England and Wales, year ending
June 2015”, published by the Office for National Statistics on 15 October 2015.</p><p>The
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) flags cases related to human trafficking and forced
labour in its Case Management System, regardless of whether the eventual prosecution
is for human trafficking, slavery, servitude and forced and compulsory labour, or
for another offence. The table below shows the number of defendants flagged for offences
related to human trafficking and to slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour
in the CPS North Yorkshire Area:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2010-2011</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011-2012</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012-2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014-2015</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Prosecutions</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Convictions</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
