The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on how many (a) community resolutions and (b) out of court conditional cautions were issued by each police force in England and Wales in the most recent 5 years for which data is available.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office collects and publishes information on the number of notifiable offences and their outcomes including community resolutions and cautions recorded by the police in England and Wales.
This information is published as official statistics each quarter. The latest information by force and offence type to the year ending December 2025, can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/police-recorded-crime-and-outcomes-open-data-tables
Statistics to the year ending March 2026 will be published on July 23.
Information on out of court conditional cautions is not separately identifiable from Adult/Youth Cautions.
