Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the number of low-level crimes that were reported but not investigated in each of the last 10 years.

The Home Office collects and routinely publishes information on how notifiable crimes that have been reported to and recorded by the police in England and Wales have been resolved.

Since April 2013, when the Home Office introduced a new outcomes framework, greater transparency has been provided on how all notifiable crimes recorded by the police have been resolved.

Prior to this information on how notifiable crimes recorded by the police were resolved was limited to those cases resulting in a formal or informal criminal justice outcome.
