(2) pursuant to the answer of 29 June 2009, Official Report, column 74W, on public order offences, what data on antisocial behaviour will be collected as defined by the simplified National Incident Category List from 2009;
(3) pursuant to the answer of 29 June 2009, Official Report, column 74W, on public order offences, if he will provide a breakdown of figures for incidents recorded in 2008-09.
The total number of incidents of antisocial behaviour recorded by the 43 police forces in England and Wales as defined within the National Incident Category List (NICL) for 2008-09 was 3,661,498. A detailed breakdown is given in the following tables.
The data are normally used for management information only and are not subject to the detailed checks that apply for National Statistics publications. The data are therefore provisional and may be subject to change.
A decision as to the data on antisocial behaviour incidents as defined by the NICL that will be collected centrally for 2009-10 will be made later this year. As part of the Home Office’s work to reduce the data burden on police forces, this data return has been reviewed and the monthly collection discontinued. A single annual return will be implemented, the extent and scope of which has yet to be finalised.
