Written Questions can be tabled by MPs and Lords to request specific information information on the work, policy and activities of a Government Department
5th Feb 2025
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department holds (a) demographic and (b) ethnicity data on the investigation of sex crimes.

The Home Office holds information on all notifiable crimes, including sexual offences, recorded by the police in England and Wales and their investigative outcomes. The extent of the data held in each case will depend on what information has been collected by the police as part of their investigation.

Statistics on the outcomes of cases are routinely published by the Ministry of Justice, and contain breakdowns of convicted offenders by age, gender, ethnicity, police force area and type of offence. This can be assessed via their outcomes by offence data tool available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-june-2024
