Sentencing: Young Offenders
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average sentence length was for those convicted aged 16 to 25 at the time of sentencing for cases included in the CPS Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme 2024-25 by ethnicity and sex.
Answered by Jake Richards
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on average sentence length for a variety of offences including murder and attempted murder in England and Wales. These data are available by ethnicity and sex in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics.
However, information on whether cases were included in the CPS Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme is not held centrally in the Court Proceedings Database.
