answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <p>There are a number of possible factors which may have contributed to the fall in the number of arrests since the year ending March 2008. Inspections carried out by HMICFRS in 2016, as part of their police effectiveness assessments, did not identify one single cause (PEEL report on police effectiveness).</p><p>One possible reason linked to the fall in the number of arrests is the increased use of voluntary attendance, where an individual attends voluntarily at a police station or at any other place where a constable is present without having been arrested for the purpose of assisting with an investigation. It is thought that the use of this practice has increased due to a more stringent application of the necessity test (which was introduced in 2012), where, for an arrest to be lawful, there must be reasonable grounds for believing that the arrest is necessary (PACE Code G).</p><p>There is also evidence of greater use of other outcomes, such as community resolutions, as part of efforts to reduce the number of young people entering custody. Other factors that may have had an impact on the fall in the number of arrests are discussed in the HMICFRS PEEL report 2016.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2017 answer text <p>The Home Office reviews the data it collects from the police under the Annual Data Requirement on an annual basis, balancing demands for data with the burden of collecting data on the police.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office is presently working with police forces in England and Wales to implement a record level data collection for police recorded crime. This will allow us to investigate linking between the police recorded crime data held by the Home Office and the prosecution and conviction data held by the Ministry of Justice in order to create a richer dataset for analysis.</p><p> </p><p>The arrests data that the Home Office collects from police forces is at the aggregate level rather than record level. Collecting record level data from the police for arrests would result in considerable additional burden on the police and is not currently planned.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 08/09/2017 12:28:26 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
