Offences against Children: Convictions
(asked on 3rd January 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many foreign nationals have been convicted for grooming.
This question was answered on 8th January 2025
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on convictions for a wide range of offences, including grooming up to and including June 2024 in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here:
Criminal justice statistics - GOV.UK.
However, convictions data held centrally does not include if the offender is a foreign national. This information may be held in the court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate cost.
