Arrests
(asked on 7th September 2016) - View Source
Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, what the average time from arrest to charge in each category of offence was in the latest year for which information is available.
This question was answered on 14th September 2016
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold this information. Individual police forces may report on average arrest to charge statistics but this information is not held by the CPS. Furthermore, many cases are charged by the police directly or by other bodies, and never come to the CPS.
