<p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not have a formal definition for ‘violent
crime’, but it does hold management information on its Case Management System showing
the number of defendants allocated the Principal Offence Categories of either Homicide
or Offences Against the Person at completion of prosecution. The Principal Offence
Category indicates the most serious offence with which a defendant is charged.</p><p>
</p><p>The tables below show the number of completed prosecutions and convictions
for Homicide and Offences Against the Person from the start of January 2005 to the
end of September 2015. The data provided in the tables is in financial quarters.</p><p>
</p><p>‘Total completed prosecutions’ refer to the conclusion of a prosecution case
against a defendant such as conviction after trial, guilty plea, acquittal, or the
prosecution against the defendant being dropped. ‘Convictions’ refer to convictions
after trial and guilty pleas.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Homicide</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Quarter</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>04/05-Q4</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>05/06-Q1</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>05/06-Q2</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>05/06-Q3</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>05/06-Q4</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>06/07-Q1</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>06/07-Q2</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>06/07-Q3</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total
