<\/p>
I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Ministry of Justice<\/p>
<\/p>
Simple cautions (previously police cautions) are a non-statutory disposal available to the police to dispose of any offence committed by an adult designed for dealing with low level, mainly first time offending. The Ministry of Justice issues guidance on the process to be followed by the police and the CPS when they are administering simple cautions for adult offenders<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is clear that serious offences should always be brought to court, and to ensure that there is increased public confidence in the justice system, last year announced changes to stop the use of cautions for indictable only offences and certain serious either way offences unless there are exceptional circumstances and a senior police officer, as well as the CPS for certain cases, has agreed that a caution should be administered.<\/p>
The MOJ guidance on Adult Simple Cautions was amended in November last year to reflect these changes, and we are legislating in the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill to place statutory restrictions around their use.<\/p>
<\/p>
Information on cautions is not held by parliamentary constituency. This information may be on the police record, which can only be obtained at disproportionate cost<\/p>

<\/p>
I recognise that burglary can have severe emotional and other negative effects on victims, particularly on children, for whom the safety and security of the home is especially important.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government's new Code of Practice for Victims of Crime, which came into force on 10 December 2013, gives victims of crime clearer entitlements from criminal justice agencies and better tailors services to individual need. Under the Code, criminal justice agencies must provide enhanced services to vulnerable victims, including victims under the age of 18. The Code contains a section dedicated to the needs of children and young people.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Code also entitles victims to make a Victim Personal Statement (VPS) which provides them with a stronger voice in the criminal justice process. Therefore child victims of burglary, or other crimes, are able to explain in their own words how the crime has affected them.<\/p>

<\/p>
The sentencing framework and sentencing guidelines apply equally to all offenders. Sentencing is entirely a matter for the courts, taking account of all the circumstances of each case. This will include the seriousness of the offence, including all aggravating and mitigating factors, and a guilty plea.<\/p>
<\/p>
Defendants are now more likely to be convicted for committing crime and sent to prison for longer than they were a decade ago. In addition criminals convicted since 2010 are more likely to receive an immediate custodial sentence, both overall and for a first time offence.<\/p>

NOMS takes the issue of assaults on prison staff very seriously. It currently has systems in place to deal with perpetrators quickly and robustly, with serious incidents referred to the police for prosecution. It is working with the police and Crown Prosecution Service<\/a> to ensure that prisoners who assault staff are charged and punished appropriately.<\/p> <\/p>
NOMS is committed to exploring options to continue to improve how violence is tackled in prisons to keep both staff and prisoners safe. It is currently reviewing the policy and practice of the management of violence.<\/p>
<\/p>
The number of prisoner on prison officers assault incidents in each year are provided in table 3.8 of the supplementary tables on assaults that accompany each Safety in Custody statistics bulletin. The latest publication can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safety-in-custody.<\/p>
<\/p>
Figures for the number of these incidents that are reported on the centralised administrative system as being referred to the police in each year are provided in table 1. These figures do not represent individuals as there may be multiple assailants in some incidents. How many of these resulted in charges or conviction can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

The indicator was not used in the day-to-day management of prisons and NOMS had concerns over the burden on the frontline of collecting the information. Indicators introduced into prison SLAs in respect of rehabilitation, resettlement and work in prisons provide a better demonstration of the efforts to equip prisoners to be less likely to offend on release.<\/p> <\/p> Work in prisons is a key priority to ensure prisoners are engaged purposefully whilst they are in custody. It also gives them the opportunity to learn skills and a work ethic which can increase their chances of finding employment on release, a key element to reducing reoffending.<\/p> <\/p> The number of prisoners working in industrial activity in public sector prisons increased from around 8,600 in 2010-11 to around 9,700 in 2012-13. This delivered an increase in the total hours worked in industrial activities from 10.6 million hours to 13.1 million hours. The average hours per week spent in education has increased since 2010.<\/p> <\/p> In addition there are substantial numbers of prisoners who work to keep prisons running on tasks such as cooking, serving meals, maintenance and cleaning.<\/p> <\/p> Our reforms to the Incentives and Earned Privileges national policy framework came into effect in adult prisons on 1 November 2013.
