answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The UK definition of terrorism is contained in section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Safeguards are built in to our legislation. The police and the Crown Prosecution Service are required to ensure that prosecutions are only pursued in appropriate cases, where there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to do so. <br><br>David Anderson QC, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, has made four specific recommendations in respect of the definition in his most recent Annual Report on the Operation of the Terrorism Acts in 2013, which was laid in Parliament on 22nd July. We are currently considering these in detail and will respond in due course.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/09/2014 15:19:23 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>In 2012-13, the most recent year for which we have this information, there were 838,026 incidents of domestic abuse, which covers both physical and <br>non-physical abuse, recorded by the police. Data for incidents in which the police took no further action are not collected by the Home Office. <br><br>The latest data from the Crown Prosecution Service show that the volume of domestic violence referrals from the police rose to 103,569 in 2013-14 from 2012-13 which is the highest level since CPS recording began. 72,905 (70.4% of these referrals) were charged, the highest volumes and proportions since CPS recording began in 2007-8. The volume of prosecutions completed in 2013-14 rose to 78,071 - a rise of 7,369 prosecutions(10.4%) from 2012-13. The volume of convictions reached 58,276 - a rise of 5,727 convictions (10.9%) since 2012-13. <br><br>In September 2013, the Home Secretary commissioned Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary to undertake a comprehensive review on how the police deal with domestic violence and abuse because she was concerned that the response is inadequate.<br><br>Their report, published in March 2013, exposed significant failings, including unacceptable variations in charging perpetrators of domestic abuse with <br>criminal offences. In response to that report, the Home Secretary established a National Oversight Group, which she is chairing, to drive delivery against HMIC’s recommendations. The Home Secretary also wrote to chief constables making it clear that every police force must have a domestic abuse action plan in place by September 2014.</p><p /> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 18/09/2014 14:16:29 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
