Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of out of court disposals issued in Wales were in relation to (a) Community Resolutions, (b) Penalty Notices for Disorder, (c) cautions for indictable offences, (d) cannabis and khat warnings and (e) cautions for summary non-motoring offences in each year between 2013 and 2017.

This information is available in the published out of court disposals data tool: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/733984/out-of-court-disposals-tool-2017-update.xlsx

To limit the data to Wales, filter the data using Police Force Area and select Dyfed-Powys, Gwent, North Wales and South Wales.

For Penalty Notice for Disorders (PND) open the PND pivot table and limit the data to Wales. For each year, the grand total gives the number of PNDs issued.

For cautions, open the Cautions pivot table and limit the data to Wales. For each year, the grand total gives the number of cautions issued.

The proportions of different out of courts disposals cannot be produced, as data is only available for (b) PNDs, (c) cautions for indictable offences and (e) cautions for summary non-motoring offences. Open the Cautions pivot table, split the data by offence type, drag the ‘offence type’ variable from the filters box into the rows box (clear any variables that were already in the rows box). For each year, sum the number of cautions for indictable only and triable either way to get the number of cautions for indictable offences.
