<p>The Crown Prosecution Service does not maintain a central record of the number
of particular offences that are currently active in either magistrates' or crown courts
in England and Wales.</p><p>The CPS case management system does however record the
number of finalised cases which reached a first hearing in the magistrates' court
as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td><p><strong>2012-2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-2014</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Protection
from Harassment Act 1997 { 4A(1)(a)(b)(i) and (5) }</p></td><td><p>Stalking involving
fear of violence</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>65</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Protection
from Harassment Act 1997 { 4A(1)(a)(b)(ii) and (5) }</p></td><td><p>Stalking involving
serious alarm / distress</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>149</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Protection
from Harassment Act 1997 { 2A(1) and (4) }</p></td><td><p>Stalking</p></td><td><p>72</p></td><td><p>529</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>There
is no indication of final outcome or if the offence charged was the offence at finalisation.</p><p>
