star this property answer text <p>Action to avert, minimize and address loss and damage associated with climate change is intricately bound up with action on mitigation, adaptation, disaster risk reduction and disaster preparedness and response. We therefore do not see that attempting to define a separate category of finance for loss and damage as useful or practical. Of the £5.8bn on climate finance we have committed to spend from 2016-2021 the UK aims to spend 50% on adaptation and 50% on mitigation.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>For those offenders sentenced to an immediate custodial sentence of six months or less between 1<sup>st</sup> January 2017 and 30<sup>th</sup> September 2018, 339 offenders had 20 previous custodial sentences of six months or less, 20 offenders had 50 previous custodial sentences of six months or less and 1 offender had 100 previous custodial sentences of six months or less.</p><p>There is a strong case to abolish sentences of six months or less, with some exceptions. We are exploring options to restrict the use of short custodial sentences, but we have not at this stage reached any conclusions.</p><p>There is persuasive evidence showing community sentences, in certain circumstances, are more effective than short custodial sentences in reducing reoffending. The MoJ study ‘The impact of short custodial sentences, community orders and suspended sentence orders on re-offending’ published in 2015 involved around 350,000 sentencing occasions over 4 years and used 130 different variables to construct matched groups of offenders and examine the effect of short sentences relative to community sentences. This study found a reduction of around 3 percentage points in proven reoffences if offenders receiving sentences of less than 12 months were to get a community order instead. This is statistically significant and equates to around 30,000 proven reoffences in total over a one-year period. This means fewer victims of crime.</p><p>Unless we tackle the underlying causes of offending, we cannot protect the public from being victims of crime. Effective community orders can address offenders’ behaviour, answer their mental health and alcohol or drug misuse needs, and provide reparation for the benefit of the wider community.</p>

If the court makes a community order that includes a curfew requirement, it must also impose an electronic monitoring requirement (unless there are particular reasons for not doing so), the purpose of which is to promote and monitor compliance. A curfew can be imposed for a daily maximum of 16 hours per day and for the maximum requirement duration of 12 months.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service can commence enforcement proceedings for alleged violations of a curfew. If enforcement proceedings are commenced and the court finds that the offender has breached their curfew, one of the sanctions the court can apply is to make the order more onerous which could include varying the curfew by extending the daily curfew hours or the overall length of the curfew requirement.</p>

All of the prisons included in the programme will have their scanners installed by the end of June 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The prisons included in this programme have specifically been selected as having an identified need for the detection technology to help address their current threats to prison safety and security. Following an operational trial in HMP Belmarsh, the decision was taken to provide the remaining prisons within the High Security Estate with a scanner to help mitigate the risk of contraband being trafficked into the prisons, by prisoners, via internal secretion. HMP Holme House has also been allocated a scanner given their status as drug-recovery prison and their role in exploring new technologies which may benefit prison safety and security more widely.</p><p> </p><p>The 10 prisons in the 10 Prisons Project were selected across three regions in the prison estate as some of our most challenging establishments, particularly in respect of drugs and violence. We are working closely with them to understand how adaptable different approaches, including x-ray scanners, are to types of different prison environment so that we can share best practice and seek to replicate elsewhere what works.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The X-ray body scanner installation programme for the remaining establishments, including the 10 Prisons Project and High Security Estate, is underway, having commenced in early April 2019. All of the prisons included in the programme will have their scanners installed by the end of June 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The prisons included in this programme have specifically been selected as having an identified need for the detection technology to help address their current threats to prison safety and security. Following an operational trial in HMP Belmarsh, the decision was taken to provide the remaining prisons within the High Security Estate with a scanner to help mitigate the risk of contraband being trafficked into the prisons, by prisoners, via internal secretion. HMP Holme House has also been allocated a scanner given their status as drug-recovery prison and their role in exploring new technologies which may benefit prison safety and security more widely.</p><p> </p><p>The 10 prisons in the 10 Prisons Project were selected across three regions in the prison estate as some of our most challenging establishments, particularly in respect of drugs and violence. We are working closely with them to understand how adaptable different approaches, including x-ray scanners, are to types of different prison environment so that we can share best practice and seek to replicate elsewhere what works.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>Our prisons face a range of security challenges stemming from criminal activity, including the availability of drugs and mobile phones in prison. We must strengthen security and searching to make it much more difficult for anyone to get contraband into prisons. As part of the Ten Prison Project we are using technology to search letters, bags and people on entry to the estate. More widely, we are closing down other routes, such as by using netting to prevent drone flights and throw-overs. We are also using dedicated search teams and phone-detection technology to locate contraband that does get in.</p><p> </p><p>Assisted by our investment in intelligence teams, a new Financial Investigations Unit, a new Serious Organised Crime Unit and the changes we have made to our dedicated counter-corruption unit, we work with law enforcement partners to disrupt criminal activity pro-actively and help obtain convictions. As a result, prisoners who break the law in prison should expect to be sanctioned according to the severity of the crime, with serious crimes being referred to the police for investigation. The revisions that we are making, together with the Crown Prosecution Service and the police, to our cross-agency protocol on how crimes in prison should be handled will further assist our efforts in this area.</p><p> </p><p>The steps we are taking to reduce drug misuse are set out in the Prison Drug Strategy published on 3 April. This sets out the co-ordinated response needed to deal with the scourge of drugs which are fuelling record levels of violence. In common with the Government’s Drug Strategy, the Prison Drug Strategy is centred around three objectives – restricting supply, reducing demand and building recovery. This coordinated approach will better protect staff and prisoners and create conditions for offenders to get the help they need to turn their lives around.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The tables below provide information on the number of individuals on a GPS tag per month during the Ministry of Justice GPS pilot. The Pilot ran in two regional police force clusters: the Midlands (Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and West Midlands) and BeNCH (Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire). The learning from the Pilot has been incorporated into the new national location monitoring service announced by the Secretary of State on 16 February. This will help strengthen supervision, enforce exclusion zones and give victims greater peace of mind. More detail about the Pilot, including the cohorts involved, can be found here <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/process-evaluation-of-the-global-positioning-system-gps-electronic-monitoring-pilot" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/process-evaluation-of-the-global-positioning-system-gps-electronic-monitoring-pilot</a></p><p> </p><p>The numbers of new starts in the Pilot dropped to zero a few months before the end of the Pilot. This was because the Pilot was scheduled to last for 18 months, ending on 31 March 2018. As most electronic monitoring orders last several months, the MoJ imposed a cut-off date for fitting new tags three months before the Pilot was due to end. This ensured that decision makers were not, for example, ordering new tags to be fitted only a few weeks before they would have to be removed.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 shows the total number of individuals wearing a GPS tag at the end of every month.</p><p> </p><p>Table 2 shows the number of new GPS starts each month.</p>

Maximum penalties for offences are set by Parliament and include five years’ custody for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and life imprisonment for the most serious cases of causing grievous bodily harm. There are no plans to increase sentences for assault offences.</p><p> </p><p>When making sentencing decisions the courts must follow any relevant sentencing guidelines, produced by the independent Sentencing Council. The Overarching Principles: Seriousness Guideline and Assault Guideline require the court to treat the fact that an offence was committed against those working in the public sector or providing a service to the public as an aggravating factor, making the offence more serious. The Sentencing Council is reviewing its guidelines on assault and a consultation on a revised guideline is anticipated later this year.</p><p> </p><p>On the 5th April the Home Office launched a call for evidence on violence and abuse towards shop staff. The aim of this work is to strengthen our understanding of the issue, including how existing legislation is being applied. The National Retail Crime Steering Group will continue to provide input on tackling this issue.</p>

The proposals include measures to ensure the probation workforce is better supported to build their careers and deliver a high-quality service to offenders, such as introducing a standard training framework for staff and a national professional register to recognise the specialism and value of probation work. We are considering the feedback received and will set out detailed plans later this year.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The HM Inspectorate of Probation (HMIP) report into South Yorkshire Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) awarded the service a rating of ‘requires improvement’. The Ministry of Justice recognises the importance of the findings of HMIP in relation to CRCs and will work with the provider to ensure that an appropriate plan is in place to address the identified areas for improvement.</p><p> </p><p>We take seriously concerns raised by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation (HMIP) and others over staffing levels. All CRC contracts require the maintenance of a sufficient level of competent and adequately trained staff. We will work with South Yorkshire CRC to ensure that the issues of shortages of qualified probation officers and the assessment and management of risk of harm to others are addressed.</p><p> </p><p>We have been clear that probation services need to improve and are taking decisive action to stabilise and improve the delivery of probation services, We are investing an additional £22m a year to ensure that CRCs deliver an enhanced Through the Gate service to offenders leaving prison. This will include sustained support to find accommodation and employment on discharge.</p><p> </p><p>We have also taken decisive action by ending current CRC contracts early and last year, conducted a consultation on future arrangements. The proposals include measures to ensure the probation workforce is better supported to build their careers and deliver a high-quality service to offenders, such as introducing a standard training framework for staff and a national professional register to recognise the specialism and value of probation work. We are considering the feedback received and will set out detailed plans later this year.</p>
