	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2015 answer text <p>In the period 1 November 2014 to 31 October 2015 there were a total of 754 reported sexual assaults on trains, and 3 reported rapes. It is likely that the levels reported are at least in part a result of various initiatives by the British Transport Police (BTP) to raise awareness and encourage more reporting of sexual offences, including various specific campaigns such as Project Guardian which encourages victims to report inappropriate sexual behaviour. Further detail on the range of actions being taken by the BTP to reduce sexual offences can be found at <a href="http://www.btp.police.uk/advice_and_info/how_we_tackle_crime/sexual_offences.aspx%20" target="_blank">http://www.btp.police.uk/advice_and_info/how_we_tackle_crime/sexual_offences.aspx</a>.</p><br /> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 27/11/2015 12:10:29 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
