tabling member constituency	East Londonderry
tabling member printed	Mr Gregory Campbell
uin	51573
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2016 answer text <p>Offenders who assault police and other front line emergency officers rightly face more severe sentences because the victim is providing a service to the public. In all such crimes the fact that the victim is providing a service to the public is treated as an aggravating factor meaning that sentences for assaulting front line emergency officers will be more severe.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, there are specific offences relating to attacking police officers and prison officers acting as constables. The offence of assault on a police constable - where little or no injury is caused – is the equivalent of common assault and has a maximum penalty of 6 months’ imprisonment. Sentencing guidelines, which are issued by the independent Sentencing Council, recognise that assault on a constable is more serious than common assault because the victim was assaulted in the line of duty. There is also an offence of assault on a police officer when attempting to resist arrest which has a maximum penalty of 2 years. Where the injuries to the victim are more serious, more severe offences will be charged such as ABH and GBH, which have higher maximum penalties.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 07/11/2016 16:38:55 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
