Knife crime sentencing quarterly brief
The publication provides early indications of trends and is planned as a temporary release to cover the life and impact of the Tackling Knives Action Programme, which was launched to focus resources on rapid, intensive work in a number of areas of England and Wales to tackle knife crime.
The first two bulletins (October to December 2008 and January to March 2009) provide statistics on Phase I of the Tackling Knives Action Programme, which was launched in June 2008 and covered 10 police areas.
Phase II started in April 2009 and now covers 16 police force areas. Statistics on Phase II are provided in bulletins from April to June 2009 onwards.
The bulletin is released by the Ministry of Justice and produced in accordance with arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.
