- Reference Number: 3357
- Date released: 27 September 2011
Request
1. For the following list of offences:
- Burglary in a dwelling
- Robbery
- Rape
- Other sexual offences excluding rape
- Harassment
Please state (a) how many crimes of each type were recorded
within your area as having occurred in the 2010/11 financial year
and (b) how many of these were ‘screened out’?
Note: Some forces use and recognise the term ‘screened out’. For
those that do not what I want are the number of crimes that it is
decided do not warrant further investigation and manpower once an
initial assessment of the facts of the case are gathered.
Response
In accordance with section 1(1) (b) of the Act our response is
provided below;
- Burglary in a dwelling - 3370
- Robber - 360
- Rape - 177
- Other sexual offences excluding rape - 585
- Harassment - 464
None of the above offences are screened out as this is a process
that is not carried out within the Cheshire Constabulary. None of
the above offences are closed or otherwise until such time as the
investigations are complete. Serious violent crime in particular,
as with most of the above, are subject to continual
review/assessment until concluded.
