answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Government introduced new stalking laws in 2012 which should lead to increased action against the number of stalkers brought to justice. In 2013-14, 743 prosecutions were commenced under the new stalking legislation. This is a significant increase from 2012-13 and shows that the legislation is starting to take effect. There has also been an increase in the number of convictions and numbers sentenced, under the new law, including an increasing number of custodial sentences. We will continue to keep the legislation, including sentencing outcomes, under review. Within the statutory limits set by Parliament, sentencing in individual cases is a matter for the courts.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 21/10/2014 09:21:27 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p /> <p>We have no current plans to develop a specific intervention aimed at this offending group.</p><p>NOMS commissioning strategy focuses investment on higher risk/harm groups of offenders with whom interventions have a proven impact. Stalkers are a comparatively small group within the offending population with a broad range of offending behaviours which may have different underlying motives or risk factors. The needs of offenders convicted of offences involving stalking behaviour can in some cases be addressed through existing accredited offending behaviour programmes, for example, the Building Better Relationships Programme or a Sex Offender Treatment Programme. Additionally, there may be opportunities to address risk and needs through one-to-one work.</p><p>NOMS Commissioners continually bear in mind the need to examine the needs of particular offender sub groups. If it becomes apparent that there is any discrete and significant subgroup of offenders with specific needs that are not met by existing provision, our commissioning strategy will change.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 21/10/2014 11:46:45 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
