answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office does not collect data on stop and searches from police forces on a quarterly basis and, therefore, we cannot assess trends in the use of Section 60 stop and search in London between January 2018 and April 2019.</p><p>The Home Office is, however, able to assess trends in the use of Section 60 stop and search over annual reporting periods.</p><p>The Home Office collects and publishes statistics on stop and searches conducted by each police force in England and Wales annually. The most recent data was published in October 2018 for the year ending March 2019 as part of the ‘Police Powers and Procedures, England and Wales’ statisti-cal bulletin, which can be accessed here:<br><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales</a></p><p>In the year ending March 2018, police in England and Wales carried out 2,501 stop and searches under section 60.</p><p>This is quadruple the number of searches under this power in the year ending March 2017 (from 631 to 2,501) but follows a downward trend since a peak of around 150,000 searches in the year ending March 2009. The increase in the use of this power has been driven by uptake in the Metropolitan Police Service in response to high levels of serious violent crime in the capital.</p><p>The next release of these statistics is due to be published in October 2019, for the year ending March 2019.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 09/04/2019 09:21:58 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>Information on the number of sharp instrument homicides recorded by the police by Police Force Area can be found in the Home Office Knife Crime Open Data Tables available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables</a></p><p>These tables also include information on the number of offences involving knives or sharp instruments for selected offences but information on how many of these offences resulted in an injury is not held by the Home Office.</p><p>Tackling serious violence is a top priority for the Government and it is clear we must continue to step up the response to stop this violence. The Serious Violence Strategy sets out the Government’s approach, which depends also on a multi-agency approach across several sectors and stresses the im-portance of early intervention to tackle the root causes.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 09/04/2019 09:23:12 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
