FOI Indecent Images of Children Offences (0395-2022/23)

Request

Q1.         Please could you provide details of the number of arrests related to the taking, making or distribution of an indecent (or pseudo sexual) image of a child (home office code 86/2) where suspect was under the age of 18 between 1st July 2021 and 1st July 2022.

Q2.         Please could you provide the total number of crimes related to the taking, making or distribution of an indecent (or pseudo sexual) image of a child (home office code 86/2) where suspect was under 18 that have been recorded as Outcome 21, between 1st July 2021 and 1st July 2022.

Q3.         Please could you provide the total number of crimes related to the taking, making or distribution of an indecent (or pseudo sexual) image of a child (home office code 86/2) where suspect was under 18 that have been recorded as Outcome 22, between 1st July 2021 and 1st July 2022.

Q4.         If possible, and do disregard if this is too much trouble, if you have a published policy regarding when Outcome 21 and Outcome 22 are recorded related to the sharing of intimate images of a minor, please could you also provide this. I realise some forces might just follow NPCC guidance and not have their own policy.

I realise some forces might just follow NPCC guidance and not have their own policy.

North Yorkshire Police do not have a separate published policy for Outcomes 21 and 22. We follow the NPCC on Youth Produced Sexual Imagery and so have no information to disclose in respect of this part of your request.

Please note that systems used for recording information are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data.  It should be noted therefore that this force’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other responses you may receive.
