Information showing the number of persons found guilty at all courts for domestic burglary and drugs offences in the Essex police force area from 2005 to 2008 (latest available) is shown in the following table.
Court proceedings data are not available at parliamentary constituency level.
Data for 2009 are planned for publication in the autumn, 2010.
Number Offence 2005 2006 2007 20083 Burglary in a dwelling 272 249 292 291 Drugs offences 774 742 570 979 Total 1,046 991 862 1,270 1 The statistics relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences the principal offence is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. 2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and 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. 3 Excludes convictions for Cardiff magistrates court for April, July and August 2008.
