PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Transport: Crime (25 October 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish a breakdown of crimes committed on the transport network by (a) nationality and (b) category of crime in each of the last five years.

Asked by:
Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain)

It is currently not possible to separately identify all crimes committed on the transport network but the Home Office collects and publishes information on the number of crimes recorded by the British Transport Police that occurred in England and Wales. The BTP is responsible for policing the railway network, London Underground, the Docklands Light Railway, Croydon Tramlink and the Midland Metro.

Data on the number of crimes recorded by BTP for each of the last five years broken down by offence type, is available here:

Information on the nationality of offenders is not routinely collected.
