That's about one-in-a-hundred of them, ten times the rate of an average member of the public.

In 2013 1.82 million people were charged with an offence in England and Wales.
The total population of England and Wales in 2013 was 56.6 million and of course that includes those under the age of criminal liability and the very old.
Even including both those groups that works out at 1 in 31 charged with an offence. 3 times the rate of those employed by the police forces of England and Wales.
Yikes, and if we take out about 10 million for under 16s and say 5million for the 'too old to be bad' group, that works out at about 1 in 23 charged with an offence.
Go on - 'Fess up - who on here has been in the dock? ![]()
