Demonstrations: Prosecutions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been prosecuted for unpeaceful protest in the last 12 months.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on prosecutions for a wide range of offences including violent disorder in England and Wales within the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics.
However, data centrally held does not contain information for unpeaceful protests as there is no specific offence used to define unpeaceful protests.
