Spiking: Prosecutions
(asked on 30th June 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prosecutions relating to spiking have there been in each of the last five year.
This question was answered on 4th July 2025
The Ministry of Justice does not currently collate statistics which show the number of individuals who are charged and subsequently prosecuted and convicted of offences which relate to incidents of spiking. The Government is, however, considering options to improve the way spiking crimes are recorded and collated with the aim of capturing better data to help advise preventative strategies for spiking where needed.
