They are issued annually <br>by the Home Office. <br><br>This Government is committed to increasing the transparency of information available to the public on recorded crime and outcomes. From April 2014, we introduced the recorded crime outcomes framework, replacing the previous regime of detections. This will inform the public how forces have dealt with 100% of crimes reported to them. For the first time, therefore, the public will be able to see how those crimes previously recorded as ‘undetected' and as requiring ‘no further action' have been resolved. The first data will be available in July 2015.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 16/06/2014 15:52:38 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker

Until recently, information has only been collected on crime outcomes that involve action being taken by the police. These were part of the former detections framework before 2013/14, and the new outcomes framework after that.<br><br>In April 2014, a new, broader crime outcomes framework was introduced, providing much greater transparency on how crimes are resolved by the police. This framework includes all scenarios where no further action was taken by the police. From April 2014 onwards, data is being collected on this new framework, and the first full set of statistics will be published in July 2015.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 16/06/2014 15:59:11 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
