The number of Penalty Notices for Disorder (PNDs) issued to persons aged 16 and over in the Lancashire police force area, by type of offence and those which were not paid from 2004 to 2007 (latest available) can be found in tables 1 to 3.
Under the PND scheme, recipients have 21 days in which to pay the penalty or request a court hearing. 21 days is the minimum period before forces can register a fine for not responding to a notice. If no action is taken, a fine of one and half times the penalty amount is registered by the courts. Fines for non-payment of PNDs are treated by the courts in the same way as any other unpaid fine. It is not possible to separately identify the payment rate of fines arising from unpaid PNDs, but the latest enforcement rate for all fines, including those from unpaid PNDs, is 85.2 per cent. for the period April-December 2008.
PNDs were implemented in all 43 forces in England and Wales in 2004.
PND data for 2008 will be available in the autumn of 2009.
