- Date released: 10 February 2010
Request
Can I suggest in order to try and assist you that we look at
crimes of violence for a period of 1st January 2009 to 31st
December 2009, the last complete year. Of those we will extract the
reports that do contain a flag/reference to alcohol being a factor.
Provided you accept that the results will not be totally
accurate.
Response
In accordance with section 1 (1) (b) of the Act our
response is provided below;
Crimes of violence where alcohol was a factor (01/01/2009 -
31/12/2009)
| Offender Substance Use* |
Recorded Crime |
| Affected by alcohol |
4271 |
| Affected by alcohol and drugs |
117 |
| Affected by drugs |
41 |
| Affected by solvents |
2 |
| Not affected by substances |
1511 |
| Not known / Non |
7794 |
| Total (Violent Crime) |
13736 |
* Data reliant on this field being completed for each
crime on the source system.
Please note
This data is reliant upon the offender substance use field being
completed in the crime recording system, alcohol maybe referenced
in other parts of the record but these will not be included because
this would require a manual trawl through all the records.
