This written ministerial statement was laid in the House of Commons on聽5聽March 2013 by聽Damian Green, and in the House of Lords by Lord Taylor of Holbeach.

As part of the government鈥檚 commitment to increasing democratic accountability and reducing bureaucratic accountability, we have consulted on proposals to broaden the current 鈥榮anction detections鈥� framework to better reflect all of the work that the police do to solve and resolve crime in national statistics.

A revised framework for recorded crime outcomes will support police officers to use their professional judgment to ensure a just and timely outcome which reflects the harm to the victim, the seriousness of the behaviour, the impact on the community, and which deters future offending. Furthermore, it will also give the public more detailed information about the work their police forces are doing and so further empower local communities to hold their chief officer and police and crime commissioner to account for tackling crime locally.

皇冠体育app consultation closed on the 7 December 2012, and we received 65 responses. Responses were overwhelmingly supportive of the new proposals, and provided valuable insight into their potential impact.

In response to the consultation the government will:

Replace the term 鈥榮anction detections鈥� with 鈥榗rime outcomes鈥� (April 2013)

Introduce 鈥榗ommunity resolution鈥� as a formal outcome category (April 2013)

Broaden the existing 鈥榥o further action鈥� category following further consultation (April 2014)

皇冠体育app government will be publishing its on 5 March 2013 and copies of this document will be placed in the House Library and on the Home Office website.
