Hugh Bayley – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the crime detection rate was for North Yorkshire police force in each year since 2004-05.

Norman Baker

The information requested is shown in the following table.

Most of this information was also published by the Home Office in its "Crimes
Detected in England and Wales, 2012/13" bulletin. Overall detection rates are
available in table 3 for all police forces from the year 2005/06 onwards.

Detections have now been replaced by a new outcomes framework, which includes a
broader range of "outcomes" for crimes dealt with by the police, and therefore
provides greater transparency on how crimes are resolved. The former detections
framework only covered a subset of the new outcomes and therefore of the ways
crimes are "resolved". Statistics for the year 2013/14 onwards will focus on
the new outcomes framework, rather than detections.
