However, reoffending rates are far too high and the care and supervision of young offenders in custody us not good enough. That is why the Justice Secretary has asked Charlie Taylor to conduct a review of youth justice. He will report back later this year with recommendations on how to improve the treatment of young people in our care.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, proceeded against at magistrates’ courts and found guilty at all courts of exposure in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>Table 2 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, proceeded against at magistrates’ courts for offences relating to harassment in England and Wales.</p><p>Table 3 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, found guilty at all courts for offences relating to harassment in England and Wales.</p><p>Table 4 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, proceeded against at magistrates’ courts and found guilty at all courts of sexual offences in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>Court proceedings data for 2015 is planned for publication in May 2016.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="7"><p><strong>Table 1: Defendants proceeded against at magistrates courts and found guilty at all courts of exposure <sup>(1)</sup>, England and Wales, 2010 to 2014 <sup>(2)(3)</sup></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Outcome</p></td><td><p>Age group</p></td><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="4"><p>Proceeded against</p></td><td><p>10 to 15</p></td><td><p>32</p></td><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>13</p></td><td><p>16</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16 to 17</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>35</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>32</p></td><td><p>22</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>18 to 25</p></td><td><p>203</p></td><td><p>190</p></td><td><p>151</p></td><td><p>187</p></td><td><p>212</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>All 25 and under</p></td><td><p>277</p></td><td><p>244</p></td><td><p>195</p></td><td><p>232</p></td><td><p>250</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="4"><p>Found guilty</p></td><td><p>10 to 15</p></td><td><p>22</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16 to 17</p></td><td><p>36</p></td><td><p>26</p></td><td><p>23</p></td><td><p>18</p></td><td><p>17</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>18 to 25</p></td><td><p>143</p></td><td><p>134</p></td><td><p>123</p></td><td><p>131</p></td><td><p>162</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>All 25 and under</p></td><td><p>201</p></td><td><p>174</p></td><td><p>157</p></td><td><p>155</p></td><td><p>189</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p>(1) An offence under S66 Sexual Offences Act 2003</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="7"><p>(2) The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with.

Compared to the year ending March 2010, in the year ending March 2015 there were 67% fewer first-time entrants to the youth justice system. However, reoffending rates are far too high and the care and supervision of young offenders in custody us not good enough. That is why the Justice Secretary has asked Charlie Taylor to conduct a review of youth justice. He will report back later this year with recommendations on how to improve the treatment of young people in our care.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, proceeded against at magistrates’ courts and found guilty at all courts of exposure in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>Table 2 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, proceeded against at magistrates’ courts for offences relating to harassment in England and Wales.</p><p>Table 3 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, found guilty at all courts for offences relating to harassment in England and Wales.</p><p>Table 4 below shows the latest available data on the number of defendants, in the requested age groups, proceeded against at magistrates’ courts and found guilty at all courts of sexual offences in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>Court proceedings data for 2015 is planned for publication in May 2016.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="7"><p><strong>Table 1: Defendants proceeded against at magistrates courts and found guilty at all courts of exposure <sup>(1)</sup>, England and Wales, 2010 to 2014 <sup>(2)(3)</sup></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Outcome</p></td><td><p>Age group</p></td><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="4"><p>Proceeded against</p></td><td><p>10 to 15</p></td><td><p>32</p></td><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>13</p></td><td><p>16</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16 to 17</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>35</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>32</p></td><td><p>22</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>18 to 25</p></td><td><p>203</p></td><td><p>190</p></td><td><p>151</p></td><td><p>187</p></td><td><p>212</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>All 25 and under</p></td><td><p>277</p></td><td><p>244</p></td><td><p>195</p></td><td><p>232</p></td><td><p>250</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="4"><p>Found guilty</p></td><td><p>10 to 15</p></td><td><p>22</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16 to 17</p></td><td><p>36</p></td><td><p>26</p></td><td><p>23</p></td><td><p>18</p></td><td><p>17</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>18 to 25</p></td><td><p>143</p></td><td><p>134</p></td><td><p>123</p></td><td><p>131</p></td><td><p>162</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>All 25 and under</p></td><td><p>201</p></td><td><p>174</p></td><td><p>157</p></td><td><p>155</p></td><td><p>189</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p>(1) An offence under S66 Sexual Offences Act 2003</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="7"><p>(2) The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2016 answer text <p>The National Probation Service (NPS) is responsible for initial risk assessments in all cases, including domestic abuse. Following sentence, it allocates each case either to a Community Rehabilitation Company or to the NPS itself, depending upon the assessed level of risk. The NPS is responsible for the supervision of all offenders assessed as presenting a high risk of serious harm and those who are subject to multi-agency public protection arrangements (MAPPA). These will include higher-risk and MAPPA offenders convicted for offences of domestic abuse.</p><p> </p><p>The performance of the NPS is closely monitored through a set of performance measures. In addition, HM Inspectorate of Probation has carried out a series of inspections of the early implementation of the previous Government’s <em>Transforming Rehabilitation</em> reforms.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 09/03/2016 17:03:47 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2016 answer text <p>The Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) provide a statutory framework within which criminal justice and social care agencies are required to assess and manage the risk presented by sexual and violent offenders, with a view to reducing re-offending and protecting the public. MAPPA is not a statutory body in itself but is a mechanism through which agencies can better discharge their statutory responsibilities and protect the public in a co-ordinated manner.</p><p> </p><p>The Responsible Authorities – the Probation, Police and Prison Services acting jointly - have a duty to ensure that the risks posed by specified sexual and violent offenders are assessed and managed property. The work undertaken by the Responsible Authorities to manage these offenders can therefore not be disaggregated from the core business of agency management.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 09/03/2016 12:59:30 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
