answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>As we made clear in our Modern Crime Prevention Strategy, there are many factors that drive crime, and so preventing crime is the responsibility of many institutions, not just the police.</p><p>This Government has provided a strong and comprehensive settlement that is increasing total investment in the police system by over £460m in 2018-19, of which more than £280m from increased council tax precept will go direct to forces to spend locally. It is for operationally independent Chief Constables to decide how best to deploy officers in their force area.</p><p>HMICFRS’s 2017 PEEL: Effectiveness inspection graded 34 forces as good at preventing crime and anti-social behaviour, four more than in 2016. Some forces had changed their approach to neighbourhood policing to ensure sufficient officers and PCSOs dedicated to preventative and community focused activity. A Police Foundation (2017) study of changes to neighbourhood policing found that forces have pursued a variety of strategies in relation to organising neighbourhood teams.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 12/11/2018 16:53:02 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment his Department has made of the reasons for the decrease in charge and summons rates for crimes.
tabling member constituency	Sheffield, Heeley
tabling member printed	Louise Haigh
uin	187078
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The likelihood of a crime resulting in a charge and summons can vary for several reasons. Improved crime recording by the police has resulted in increased caseloads and a changing crime mix. These include more complex crimes which take longer to receive an outcome, such as domestic abuse or sexual offences.</p><p>The Government recognises the impact that crime can have on its victims and we want offenders charged and brought to justice in the courts. It is the responsibility of Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners to make sure criminal cases are investigated properly and together with the Crown Prosecution Service, ensure cases are charged where there is sufficient evidence, and it is in the public interest to do so.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 08/11/2018 15:37:46 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

Anyone committing a speeding offence who accepts a speed awareness course in lieu of other police enforcement action is required to pay to attend a course; course fees are set at a level that covers the cost of the courses and related expenses.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 06/11/2018 15:22:59 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

uin	186389
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government has been clear that we want an ambitious future partnership with the EU that covers: mechanisms for rapid and secure data exchange, practical measures to support cross-border operational cooperation, and continued UK cooperation with EU law enforcement and criminal justice agencies.</p><p>As outlined in our White Paper of July 2018, , the UK is one of the biggest contributors of data, information and expertise to Europol. The White Paper also sets out our continued commitment to global data protection standards and proposes that the future relationship with the EU in this area should be based on adequacy.</p><p><br>However, in the event there is no agreement on data sharing at the point of exit there is existing precedent for third country participation in European Multidisciplinary Platform against Criminal Threats (EMPACT) priorities, which are projects to combat jointly prioritised crime threats. Whilst the involvement of non-EU partners should comply with the rules on exchanges of data as set out in the Europol Regulation, there is no requirement for these countries to have an adequacy finding from the European Commission.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 05/11/2018 18:04:05 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
