Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 9 May to Question 246971 on Reoffenders: Community Orders, if he will publish the offences included under the Miscellaneous Crimes Against Society category.

The offences included under the Miscellaneous Crimes Against Society category committed by adult offenders who started a community order in the calendar year 2016, in England and Wales, can be found in the attached response table.

At present, we do not intend to routinely produce such statistics as we have yet to identify sufficient user need to justify the costs involved.
