Section 51 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 creates two offences:<\/p>
S.51(1) creates an offence directed at acts against a person who assists in an investigation of an offence or who is a witness or potential witness or juror or potential juror whilst an investigation or trial is in progress<\/p>
S.51(2) creates an offence directed at acts against a person who assisted in an investigation of an offence or who was a witness or juror after an investigation or trial has been concluded.<\/p>
The records held by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) identify the number of offences in which a prosecution commenced and reached a first hearing in the magistrates\u2019 courts, rather than the number of defendants prosecuted. A single defendant may be prosecuted for multiple offences.<\/p>
The number of offences charged under s.51(1) and s.51(2) are as follows:<\/p>
<\/p><\/td>
| <\/p><\/td>
| 2010-2011<\/p><\/td> | 2011-2012<\/p><\/td> | 2012-2013<\/p><\/td> | 2013-2014<\/p><\/td> | 2014-2015<\/p><\/td><\/tr> |
Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 51(1)<\/p><\/td> | Intimidate a witness / juror<\/p><\/td> | 3,275<\/p><\/td> | 2,630<\/p><\/td> | 2,148<\/p><\/td> | 2,066<\/p><\/td> | 2,202<\/p><\/td><\/tr> |
Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 51(2)<\/p><\/td> | Do an act which harmed a witness / juror<\/p><\/td> | 102<\/p><\/td> | 166<\/p><\/td> | 99<\/p><\/td> | 72<\/p><\/td> | 109<\/p><\/td><\/tr> |
Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 51(2)<\/p><\/td> | Threaten a witness / juror<\/p><\/td> | 240<\/p><\/td> | 172<\/p><\/td> | 118<\/p><\/td> | 122<\/p><\/td> | 129<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
The proportion of CPS cases that result in a guilty plea has increased from 67.2% in 10/11 to 74.5% in 14/15 which means that there are fewer cases that are likely to be subject to the sorts of acts covered by s.51(1) during the course of the prosecution.<\/p> Also, s.51(1) covers intimidation of juror or potential jurors. The number of crown court trials have also been reducing over the period in question by 9.5%, again resulting in fewer cases where S.51(1) offences are likely to apply.<\/p>"}
