This included establishing, in July 2020, the UK-France Joint Intelligence Cell (JIC) which is located in France and has co-located UK and French officers working together to support the prosecution of small boat gangs. Since it was established, the work of the JIC has led to the dismantling of 24 organised crime groups involved in small boat crossings, with 12 of these groups being dismantled in 2023 alone.</p> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 17/05/2024 11:11:58 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to reduce rates of shoplifting in Portsmouth.
tabling member constituency	Portsmouth South
tabling member printed	Stephen Morgan
uin	24525
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>Since 2010 our communities are safer, with neighbourhood crimes including burglary, robbery and theft from the person down 48% and overall violent crime down 44%, and with more police officers on the streets than in 2010.</p><p>However, there has been a worrying rise in shoplifting and violence towards retail workers, which we need to address.</p><p>Police Recorded Crime figures show shoplifting offences increased by 37% in the 12 months to December 2023. Although, the number of people charged with shoplifting offences in the same period rose by 46%, showing the police are heeding the message and taking action.</p><p>The Government has taken a number of recent significant steps to reduce and prevent retail crime. Our plan – &quot;Fighting retail crime: more action&quot; was launched on 10 April, which highlights five areas of work this Government will drive forward to tackle retail crime. This will include us introducing a presumption towards electronic monitoring as part of a sentence served in the community for those who repeatedly steal from shops. We will develop a retail theft electronic monitoring (EM) ‘package’, to offer sentencers starting in a pilot area, a clear community sentence pathway for repeat retail theft offenders.</p><p>This builds on the police-led Retail Crime Action Plan, which includes a commitment to prioritise police attendance at the scene where violence has been used towards shop staff, where an offender has been detained by store security, and where evidence needs to be secured and can only be done by police personnel. Figures published by the NPCC show early signs of progress.</p><p>Furthermore, we will bring forward legislative changes to introduce a presumption towards electronic monitoring as part of a sentence served in the community for those who repeatedly steal from shops. This legislative change will provide that on the third sentencing occasion, an offender would be electronically monitored as part of any community sentence or post-release for the duration of any licence period.</p><p>Under section 176 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, low-value shoplifting (value of £200 or less) is a summary offence, unless an adult elects to be tried in the Crown Court. Where a summary offence is committed, the case can be handled as a police-led prosecution.</p><p>Police-led prosecutions were introduced to improve the efficiency of the criminal justice system by allowing for a simpler, more proportionate police-led process in high-volume, low-level, uncontested cases. This route enables cases to be handled more speedily, rather than cases having to go to the CPS and through the Crown Court.</p><p>Repealing this would mean victims of shoplifting have to wait longer for cases to come to court.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp grouped question UIN 24524 question first answered 13/05/2024 16:54:52 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
