answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text <p>Whilst crime is falling, since 2010 offenders are more likely to go to prison, and for longer. In 2013, of all offenders sentenced for indictable offences, 27% were sentenced to immediate custody, 23% to community sentences, 18% to a fine, and 12% to a Suspended Sentence Order. In 2013, for the first time in the period between 2003 and 2013, immediate custody was the most common disposal given for indictable offences.</p><p> </p><p>This Government is creating a tough justice system with severe penalties available for serious offenders. We have already introduced automatic life sentences for a second serious sexual or violent offence, and we are legislating to end automatic early release for child rapists, terrorists and dangerous offenders. Our radical reforms to rehabilitation will mean for the first time every offender leaving prison spends at least 12 months under supervision, where currently around 50,000 are released each year with no statutory support. This will start to address the scandalous gap that allows our most chaotic offenders to leave prison with no support or supervision to turn their lives around.</p><p> </p><p>Sentencing in individual cases is a matter for the courts, within the maximum penalty set by Parliament for the offence. Courts have discretion to suspend an adult custodial sentence and since December 2012 have been able to suspend a sentence of two years or less, where previously only a sentence of 12 months or less could be suspended.</p><p> </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 announced in November last year changes to police guidance. This revised guidance states simple cautions should not be given for indictable only offences, certain serious either way offences or repeat offenders 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. We have legislated in the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill to put statutory restrictions on the use of cautions for serious offences and repeat offenders.</p><p> </p><p>The number of people cautioned and offenders sentences at all courts for the requested offences, in England and Wales, in each year from 2010 to 2013 (latest data available) are published on the Ministry of Justice website and can be viewed at the following link:-</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-statistics-quarterly-december-2013" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-statistics-quarterly-december-2013</a></p><p> </p><p>From the above link select “Outcome by offence” noting that: grievous bodily harm offences can be viewed under assault with intent to cause serious harm; causing death by reckless driving can be viewed under causing death by dangerous driving; and wounding or other acts endangering life can be viewed under other acts endangering life.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 03/12/2014 17:42:23 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
