50% : Two years ago, Ms Bain announced plans to allow police officers to issue warnings to those found to be in possession of Class A drugs - in the same way as can be done for Class B and C substances - as a way of reducing the number of people prosecuted for drug possession.42% : But troublingly, the rules around RPWs remain secret, with police saying that making the guidelines public would allow "offenders to circumvent the law.
38% : Most RPWs issued in 2020/21 related to drug offences, with 6,448 issued - putting into perspective the 18 for 'other sexual offences'.
