Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been prosecuted for knife crime in England since January 2020.

The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of prosecutions for criminal offences, in the Outcomes by Offence data tool. This information can be further broken down by offence group and specific offences using the appropriate filters (for knife crime offences, select ‘10D Possession of article with blade or point’ in the Offence filter). To see prosecutions for England only, Welsh police force areas (Dyfed Powys, Gwent, North Wales, South Wales) can be deselected from the appropriate filter.
