Police

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance her Department issues to police forces on marking cases as requiring No Further Action.

Answer

The Home Office Counting Rules provide guidance to police forces on all matters that relate to the recording of crime and disposals. They are issued annually by the Home Office.

This Government is committed to increasing the transparency of information available to the public on

recorded crime and outcomes. From April 2014, we introduced the recorded crime outcomes framework, replacing the previous regime of detections. This will inform the public how forces have dealt with 100% of crimes reported to them. For the first time, therefore, the public will be able to see how those crimes previously recorded as ‘undetected’ and as requiring ‘no further action’ have been resolved. The first data will be available in July 2015.
