Question reference: S2W-09307

Asked by: Christine Grahame, MSP for South of Scotland, Scottish National Party
Date lodged: Wednesday, 23 June 2004
Current Status: Answered by Cathy Jamieson on 19 July 2004

To ask the Scottish Executive how many crimes of indecency were reported in each of the last five years, broken down by police force area and, of these, how many were successfully prosecuted in each year.

Information on crimes reported to (as opposed to recorded by) the police is not available centrally. Information on crimes of indecency recorded by the police broken down by police force area is published for each year in table 4A of the relevant statistical bulletins Recorded Crime in Scotland, copies of which are available in the Parliament’s Reference Centre (Bib. numbers 7079, 13119, 20798, 27678 and 33018).

The available information on persons with a charge proved in court where a crime of indecency was the main offence is given in the following table. Statistics dealing with recorded crime and court proceedings are not directly comparable as a person may be proceeded against for more than one crime involving more than one victim, while a crime may be recorded in one year and proceedings taken in a subsequent year. Charges recorded by the police may also be altered as a result of the judicial process.
