<p>The CPS does not maintain a central record of prosecutions which involved trespass.
This information could only be obtained by an examination of CPS case files, which
would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Trespass is not of itself a criminal
offence. However, there are some offences in which trespass is an essential element.
The tables below set out the most common examples of such offences, where a prosecution
commenced in the Sussex Police Force Area and in England, during each of the last
three years.</p><p> </p><p>Offences recorded in the CPS Case Management Information
System are those which reached a hearing. There is no indication of the final outcome
or if the charged offence was the substantive charge at finalisation.</p><p> </p><p>It
should be noted that the figures relate to the number of offences and not the number
of individual defendants. It may be the case that an individual defendant is charged
with more than one offence.</p><p><strong>TABLE (A) SUSSEX POLICE FORCE AREA</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
