164 Crime and Justice serious crimes such as serious assault, sexual assault, robbery or housebreaking. The Sexual Offences Act 2003 introduced in May 2004 altered the definition and coverage of sexual offences. In particular, it redefined indecent exposure as a sexual offence, which is likely to account for much of the increase in sexual offences. Further information is available from Crime in England and Wales 2007/2008 (Home Office, Sian Nicholas, Chris Kershaw and Alison Walker, editors). Court proceedings and police cautions (Tables 11.4 to 11.8, 11.13 to 11.17, 11.20 to 11.22) The statistical basis of the tables of court proceedings is broadly similar in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; the tables show the number of persons found guilty, recording a person under the heading of the principal offence of which they were found guilty, excluding additional findings of guilt at the same proceedings. A person found guilty at a number of separate court proceedings is included more than once. The statistics on offenders cautioned in England and Wales cover only those who, on admission of guilt, were given a formal caution by, or on the instructions of, a senior police officer as an alternative to prosecution. Written warnings by the police for motor offences and persons paying fixed penalties for certain motoring offences are excluded. Formal cautions are not issued in Scotland. There are no statistics on cautioning available for Northern Ireland. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 created provisions in relation to reprimands and final warnings, new offences and orders which have been implemented nationally since 1 June 2000. They replace the system of cautioning for offenders aged under 18. Reprimands can be given to first-time offenders for minor offences. Any further offending results in either a final warning or a charge. For persons proceeded against in Scotland, the statistics relate to the High Court of Justiciary, the sheriff courts and the district courts. The High Court deals with serious solemn (that is, Jury) cases and has unlimited sentencing power. Sheriff courts are limited to imprisonment of 3 years for solemn cases, or 3 months (6 months when specified in legislation for second or subsequent offences and 12 months for certain statutory offences) for summary (that is, non-Jury) cases. District courts deal only with summary cases and are limited to 60 days imprisonment and level 4 fines. Stipendiary magistrates sit in Glasgow District Court and have the summary sentencing powers of a sheriff. Crime and Justice There are differences in the legal and judicial systems of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland which make it impossible to provide tables covering the UK as a whole in this section. These differences concern the classification of offences, the meaning of certain terms used in the statistics, the effects of the several Criminal Justice Acts and recording practices. Recorded crime statistics (Table 11.3) Crimes recorded by the police provide a measure of the amount of crime committed. The statistics are based on counting rules, revised with effect from 1 April 1998, which are standard for all the police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and now include all indictable and triable- either-way offences together with a few summary offences which are closely linked to these offences. The new rules have changed the emphasis of measurement more towards one crime per victim, and have also increased the coverage of offences. These changes have particularly impacted on the offence groups of violence against the person, fraud and forgery, drugs offences and other offences. For a variety of reasons many offences are either not reported to the police or not recorded by them. The changes in the number of offences recorded do not necessarily provide an accurate reflection of changes in the amount of crime committed. In order to further improve the consistency of recorded crime statistics and to take a more victim oriented approach to crime recording, the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS) was introduced across all forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from 1 April 2002. Some police forces implemented the principles of NCRS in advance of its introduction across all forces. The NCRS had the effect of increasing the number of offences recorded by the police. Similarly, the Scottish Crime Recording Standard (SCRS) was introduced by the eight Scottish police forces with effect from 1 April 2004. This means that no corroborative evidence is required initially to record a crime-related incident as a crime if so perceived by the victim. Again, the introduction of this new recording standard was expected to increase the numbers of minor crimes recorded by the police, such as minor crimes of vandalism and minor thefts and offences of petty assault and breach of the peace. However, it was expected that the SCRS would not have much impact on the figures for the more 165 Crime and Justice In England and Wales, indictable offences are offences which are: • triable only on indictment. These offences are the most serious breaches of the criminal law and must be tried at the Crown Court. ‘Indictable-only’ offences include murder, manslaughter, rape and robbery • triable either way. These offences may be tried at the Crown Court or a magistrates’ court The Criminal Justice Act 1991 led to the following main changes in the sentences available to the courts in England and Wales: • introduction of combination orders • introduction of the ‘unit fine scheme’ at magistrates’ courts • abolishing the sentence of detention in a young offender institution for 14-year-old boys and changing the minimum and maximum sentence lengths for 15 to 17- year-olds to 10 and 12 months respectively, and • abolishing partly suspended sentences of imprisonment and restricting the use of a fully suspended sentence The Criminal Justice Act 1993 abolished the ‘unit fine scheme’ in magistrates’ courts, which had been introduced under the Criminal Justice Act 1991. A charging standard for assault was introduced in England and Wales on 31 August 1994 with the aim of promoting consistency between the police and prosecution on the appropriate level of charge to be brought. The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 created several new offences in England and Wales, mainly in the area of public order, but also including male rape (there is no statutory offence of male rape in Scotland, although such a crime may be charged as serious assault). The Act also: • extended the provisions of section 53 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1993 for 10 to 13-year-olds • increased the maximum sentence length for 15 to 17-year- olds to 2 years • increased the upper limit from £2,000 to £5,000 for offences of criminal damage proceeded against as if triable only summarily • introduced provisions for the reduction of sentences for early guilty pleas, and • increased the maximum sentence length for certain firearm offences Provisions within the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 (as amended by the Powers of Criminal Courts Sentencing Act 2000) in England and Wales, and the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997 in Scotland, included: • an automatic life sentence for a second serious violent or sexual offence unless there are exceptional circumstances (this provision has not been enacted in Scotland) • a minimum sentence of 7 years for an offender convicted for a third time of a class A drug trafficking offence unless the court considers this to be unjust in all the circumstances, and • in England and Wales, the new section 38A of the Magistrates’ Courts’ Act 1980 extending the circumstances in which a magistrates’ court may commit a person convicted of an offence triable-either-way to the Crown Court for sentence – it was implemented in conjunction with section 49 of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, which involves the magistrates’ courts in asking defendants to indicate a plea before the mode of trial decision is taken and compels the court to sentence or commit for sentence any defendant who indicates a guilty plea Under the Criminal Justice and Court Service Act 2000 new terms were introduced for certain orders. Community rehabilitation order is the new name for a probation order. A community service order is now known as a community punishment order. Finally, the new term for a combination order is community punishment and rehabilitation order. In April 2000 the secure training order was replaced by the detention and training order. Section 53 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1993 was repealed on 25 August 2000 and its provisions were transferred to sections 90 to 92 of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000. Reparation and action plan orders were implemented nationally from 1 June 2000. The drug treatment and testing order was introduced in England, Scotland and Wales from October 2000. The referral order was introduced in England, Scotland and Wales from April 2000. These changes are now reflected in Table 11.8. The system of magistrates’ courts and Crown Courts in Northern Ireland operates in a similar way to that in England and Wales. A particularly significant statutory development, however, has been the Criminal Justice (NI) Order 1996 which introduces a new sentencing regime into Northern Ireland, largely replicating that which was introduced into England and Wales by the Criminal Justice Acts of 1991 and 1993. The order makes many changes to both community and custodial sentences, while introducing new orders such as the combination order, the custody probation order, and orders for release on licence of sexual offenders. 166 Crime and Justice Expenditure on penal establishments in Scotland (Table 11.19) The results shown in this table are reported on a cash basis for financial years 1996/97 to 2000/01 in line with funding arrangements. Financial year 2001/02 is reported on a resource accounting basis in line with the introduction of resource budgeting. Capital charges were introduced with resource accounting and budgeting. 167 Crime and justice 11.1 Police force strength 1: by countr y and sex As at 31 March Numbers 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 England and Wales Regular Police(FTE) Strength: Men KERB 105 145 103 956 101 801 102 321 104 483 106 996 110 150 110 597 109 327 108 118 106 866 Women KERC 19 611 19 885 20 155 21 155 22 784 24 430 26 956 28 898 30 307 31 914 32 861 Seconded:2,3 Men KERD 1 836 2 017 2 077 1 914 2 031 1 689 1 811 1 514 1 545 422 432 Women KERE 222 238 307 292 305 251 284 222 203 60 70 Additional Officers:4 Men KERF 267 324 361 493 567 375 394 522 676 657 661 Women KERG 514 582 519 509 564 709 969 1 042 1 213 1 203 1 471 Special constables Strength:5 Men KERH 11 977 10 860 9 623 8 630 8 014 7 718 7 645 8 074 8 829 9 327 9 719 Women KERI 6 279 5 624 4 724 4 108 3 584 3 319 3 343 3 844 4 350 4 694 4 828 Scotland Regular police Strength:6 Men KERK 12 753 12 545 12 374 12 547 12 513 12 590 12 685 12 798 12 820 12 687 12 532 Women KERL 2 227 2 265 2 325 2 602 2 738 2 897 2 898 3 203 3 401 3 547 3 689 Central service:7 Men KERM 85 88 95 87 116 131 166 195 171 153 219 Women KERN 6 9 13 10 12 17 29 29 21 28 44 Seconded:8 Men KERO 101 85 130 140 133 166 192 216 200 195 196 Women KERP 10 12 18 14 18 24 30 31 27 28 30 Additional regular police: Men HFVM 88 85 80 83 80 79 88 79 85 107 106 Women HFVN 9 6 4 5 12 10 13 21 15 12 14 Special constables Strength: Men KERS 1 286 1 229 981 924 812 711 773 718 888 886 884 Women KERT 437 422 355 336 307 280 328 437 432 471 510 Nor thern Ireland Regular police9,10 Strength: Men KERU 7 523 7 406 6 844 6 227 6 057 6 171 6 108 6 016 5 992 5 949 5 761 Women KERV 933 987 966 1 009 1 080 1 266 1 418 1 547 1 534 1 600 1 653 Reser ve11 Strength: Men KERW 3 469 3 199 2 962 2 629 2 223 1 983 1 824 1 431 1 424 1 212 1 119 Women KERX 705 641 607 556 510 453 485 410 402 400 382 1 Figures for England and Wales excluding those on career breaks or mater nity/pater nity leave .

From 1 April 1999, under the new counting rules, drug traffick- ing became part of a new ’Dr ug offences’ group which, now also includes pos- session and other drug offences. For 1998/99 under the old counting rules, dr ug trafficking has been separated out and listed under drugs offences. 6 Includes the British Transpor t Police (BTP) from 2002/03 onwards. 7 The Sexual Offences Act 2003, introduced in May 2004, altered the definitions and coverage of sexual offences. 8 The offence groupings were revised in 2006/07 and backdated to 2002/03.

This sentence was made available to High Cour t, Sher iff Cour ts and Stipendiary Magistrates court from 1 May 2002. 4 The pilot scheme under the Crime and Punishment (S) Act 1995, where fines for 16 & 17 year olds were replaced by super vised attendance orders, was discontinued in December 1999. The majority of supervised atten- dance orders recorded from the year 2000-01 onwards were disposals re- lating to the breach of an existing order. 5 Drug treatment and testing orders are new measures made available on a pilot basis to the High Court and to Sheriff Courts for residents in Glasgow (from October 1999), Fife (from July 2000) and Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire (from De- cember 2001).
