Social Media: Misuse
(asked on 9th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how many prosecutions there were for abusive behaviour on social media platforms in each of the last three years; and how many of those prosecutions resulted in a conviction.
This question was answered on 17th October 2017
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain a central record of the number of prosecutions or convictions for abusive behaviour on social media platforms. This information could only be obtained by examining CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
