The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 came into effect on 25 November 2012 and introduced two new offences of stalking, by way of Section 2A and Section 4A, into the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold any data which shows the number of defendants charged with and prosecuted for offences of stalking or the number of these who were previously convicted of similar offences. However, management information is held showing the number of offences of stalking in which a prosecution commenced from each year from 2013/14. The table below shows the number of these offences to the latest available year, 2021/22. <table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2013-2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014-2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015-2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016-2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017-2018</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018-2019</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2019-2020</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2020-2021</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2021-2022</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Protection from Harassment Act 1997 { 2A(1) and (4) }</p></td><td><p>529</p></td><td><p>676</p></td><td><p>643</p></td><td><p>510</p></td><td><p>921</p></td><td><p>1,246</p></td><td><p>1,257</p></td><td><p>1,326</p></td><td><p>1,741</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Protection from Harassment Act 1997 { 4A(1)(a)(b)(i) and (5) }</p></td><td><p>65</p></td><td><p>133</p></td><td><p>128</p></td><td><p>83</p></td><td><p>172</p></td><td><p>313</p></td><td><p>331</p></td><td><p>424</p></td><td><p>563</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Protection from Harassment Act 1997 { 4A(1)(a)(b)(ii) and (5) }</p></td><td><p>149</p></td><td><p>294</p></td><td><p>331</p></td><td><p>366</p></td><td><p>523</p></td><td><p>649</p></td><td><p>700</p></td><td><p>762</p></td><td><p>1,046</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="10"><p>Data Source: CPS Case Management Information System</p></td></tr></tbody></table>The figures relate to the number of offences and not the number of individual defendants. It is often the case that an individual defendant is charged with more than one offence against the same complainant. No data are held showing the final outcome or if the charged offence was the substantive charge at finalisation. The official statistics relating to crime and policing are maintained by the Home Office and the official statistics relating to sentencing, criminal court proceedings, offenders brought to justice, the courts and the judiciary are maintained by the Ministry of Justice.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 25/01/2023 17:50:48 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson
