Details
This is the quarterly Q4 2023 criminal courts statistics publication.
The statistics here focus on key trends in case volume and progression through the criminal court system in England and Wales. This also includes:
- Experimental statistics on 'the use of language interpreter and translation services in courts and tribunals;
Additional data tools and CSVs have also been provided.
Statisticians comment
This report covers the period to the end of December 2023.
The volume of receipts and disposals in the Crown court remain high, with receipts at their second highest quarterly value since 2020, and disposals at their second highest quarterly value since 2019. Receipts remain higher than disposals and so the outstanding caseload has grown in the latest quarter.
The effective trial rate remains stable in both magistrates' and Crown Courts; and the average length of time from offence to completion (end-to-end timeliness) increased slightly at magistrates' courts, but fell in the Crown Court.
Criminal court statistics quarterly, January to March 2024
The next criminal court statistics publication is scheduled for release on 20th June 2024.
