Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
My noble friend Lady Chakrabarti said that more than 3,000 children were prosecuted. The figures I have are that, in 2025, 2,638 children were prosecuted. The rate of convictions has fallen from 3,852 children convicted in 2017 to 1,691 children in 2024, so we are moving in the right direction; that is a reduction of more than 50%.
