The number of defendants proceeded against at magistrates\u2019 courts and found guilty at all courts of offences under Section 3 and 3(1) of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 can be viewed in Table 1 and Section 2 of the Dogs Act 1871, in England in 2014, can be viewed in Table 2.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Criminal justice statistics for 2015 are planned for publication in spring 2016.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Centrally held data cannot separately identify whether or not an attack took place in a public or a private place. This information may be held in individual court files, which could only be inspected at disproportionate cost.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
With regard to the calendar split, no defendants were proceeded against at magistrates\u2019 courts on the enhanced offences until June 2014; hence data for May has been retained together and a split from June to December presented.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Meanwhile, data reported to the Ministry of Justice, and held on the Court Proceedings Database, pertaining to criminal cases which were concluded at all courts in England and Wales between 20 October 2014 and 31 December 2014 (latest currently available) indicate that none of the Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) issued were as a result of a conviction for a criminal offence specifically relating to dogs under the anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policy Act 2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Ministry of Justice holds no information centrally on Community Protection Notices or injunctions related to powers under this Act.<\/p>
