	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text <p>The data requested is set out in the table below. Data from October and November 2015 will be available after figures for this period have been published in the knife possession sentencing quarterly statistics on <a href="http://www.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a>. The figures in the tables will be subject to change as the cases that are currently in the system eventually reach a court outcome.</p><br /><p>In July 2015, a new minimum custodial sentence for repeat knife possession came into force. Out of the 456 days covered by this data, there were just 76 days in which the minimum sentence was applicable. The average time from charge to court outcome is 86 days, so it is unlikely that any repeat possession offences could be tried under the new legislation.</p><br /><p>Table 1 shows the number of juvenile cautioning and sentencing occasions for knife possession offences by age group for each month between July 2014 and September 2015.</p><br /><p>Table 2 shows the number of juvenile cautioning and sentencing occasions for knife possession offences, where the juvenile has one previous caution or conviction for the possession of a knife or offensive weapon, by age group for each month between July 2014 and September 2015.</p><br /><p>Table 3 shows the number of juvenile sentencing occasions for knife possession offences resulting in an immediate custodial sentence by age group for each month between July 2014 and September 2015.</p><br /><p>Table 4 shows the number of juvenile cautioning and sentencing occasions for knife possession offences by ethnic appearance for each month between July 2014 and September 2015.</p><br /><p>Table 5 shows the number of juvenile cautioning and sentencing occasions for knife possession offences, where the juvenile has one previous caution or conviction for the possession of a knife or offensive weapon, by ethnic appearance for each month between July 2014 and September 2015.</p><br /><p>Table 6 shows the number of juvenile sentencing occasions for knife possession offences resulting in an immediate custodial sentence by ethnic appearance for each month between July 2014 and September 2015.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 14/01/2016 14:15:12 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks attachment 1 file name Juvenile Knife Possession Jul 14 to Sep 15.xls title Juvenile Knife Possession Jul 2014 to Sep 2015

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text <p>The MoJ robustly manages and monitors the performance of Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs), in line with Government standards, to make sure they fulfil their contractual commitments to maintain service delivery, reduce reoffending and deliver value for money to the taxpayer. CRCs are contracted to deliver services for a fixed fee. We are aware that some of the CRCs have contracted with Public Relations Agencies. However, we would not normally monitor information on how many owners hire PR companies or consultants.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 14/01/2016 15:08:41 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
