In England and Wales, all suspects can be detained initially for 24 hours. If the suspect is suspected of committing an indictable offence, this can be increased by a further twelve hours. Detention beyond 36 hours can be authorised by the magistrates'court, up to a maximum of 96 hours. Indictable offences cover a broad range, including, for example, minor thefts. Periodic reviews must be carried out(initially after six hours and then at nine hourly intervals)but research has suggested that these can be little more than box ticking exercises, at least in the initial 24 hour period.

Comprehensive figures on detention times in England and Wales are not routinely published. In a study undertaken between 1993 and 1994,the average detention time was six hours and 40 minutes. In a smaller scale study undertaken in 2007,the average detention period was higher, at ten hours and 17 minutes. Official figures do not indicate how many suspects in total are detained beyond twelve or 24 hours, but they do show that, in 2009, 104,224 suspects(0.3 percent of those arrested)were detained for more than 24 hours and subsequently released without charge.
