Data on the number of defendants aged 10 to 17 years who were found guilty at all courts for the offence of being drunk and disorderly, broken down by gender and London court area for the years 1996-2005, are provided in the table.
Additionally, suspects age 16 or over may be issued with a Penalty Notice Disorder (PND) for drunk and disorderly behaviour. Paying the penalty discharges all liability to conviction of the offence.
In Greater London there were 51 PNDs issued to males aged 16 to 17 in 2004 for being drunk and disorderly in a public place, with four issued to females. These figures rose to 74 for males and 10 for females in 2005. Detailed information on court proceedings including convictions, cautions and PNDs for 2006 will be published in the autumn of 2007.

However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
Information on charging is not held centrally.
Information on the number of males and females prosecuted, and convicted for (A) drunk and disorderly behaviour, (B) driving after consuming alcohol or taking drugs and (C) causing death by dangerous driving when under the influence of drink or drugs in each London borough, for the years 2001 to 2005 can be viewed in tables A to C respectively.
In addition, penalty notices for disorder (PNDs) may be issued for the offence of being drunk and disorderly. No admission of guilt is required and payment of the penalty discharges all liability to conviction of the offence.
PND data held centrally are at Metropolitan and City of London Police Force area level only. The number of PNDs issued in these two areas for being drunk and disorderly was 3,928 to males and 499 to females in 2004, and 2,768 to males and 392 to females in 2005.
Detailed information on court proceedings including convictions, cautions and PNDs for 2006 will be published in the autumn of 2007.
