CRIMINAL JUSTICE SOCIAL WORK STATISTICS, 2002-03
12. Breach Applications of Supervised Attendance Orders
(table 38 to table 39)
12.1 This section provides information on breach applications of Supervised
Attendance Orders made to the courts between 1 April 2002 and 31 March 2003.
12.2 824 breach applications were made to the Courts in 2002-03 in respect
of Supervised Attendance Orders for a total of 686 individuals. This compares
to 871 applications for a total of 705 individuals in 2001-02.
12.3 The number of breach applications is not directly comparable with the
number of orders provided previously (which covers new orders only) as some
of the breach applications may relate to orders started in the previous year.
However, as Supervised Attendance Orders are expected to be completed within
a 12 month period (and usually within 6 months), the number of orders started
in 2002-03 (2,700) can be taken as a proxy measure for the number of orders
active during the year. This suggests that roughly one in three orders result
in a breach application.
12.4 Seventy two per cent of breach applications were made to Sheriff Courts
and a further 28% were made to District Courts. The majority of breach applications
(87%) were made in respect of males.
