tabling member printed	Baroness Doocey
uin	HL6035
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2016 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) identify both human trafficking and child abuse cases by way of a database monitoring flag applied to the electronic case record.</p><p>The number of defendants prosecuted for flagged human trafficking offences where the child abuse flag was also applied are as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2012-2013</p></td><td><p>2013-2014</p></td><td><p>2014-2015</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>59</p></td><td><p>24</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The figures provided represent the number of defendants prosecuted. Cases of trafficking for child exploitation (particularly child sexual exploitation) can involve networks of multi-defendants who have sexually exploited young female victims. Therefore, in the relatively low numbers of cases cross flagged, a small number of additional cases in one year involving upwards of 9 to 12 defendants each will have a significant effect on the annual figures. This, in part, explains the reduction in the number of defendants prosecuted for both human trafficking and child abuse; down from 59 in 2013/14 to 24 in 2014/15.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 19/02/2016 12:48:51 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
