Asked by:
Dr Kieran Mullan (Conservative)

The information requested is provided in the table attached. This table includes data on the:

• Proportion of the records on the Police National Computer (PNC) in each category specified, by offenders of working age.

This analysis looks at the proportion of records that fall into the categories a – d. It does not provide the proportion of individuals as each individual offender may have a record in each category. It is not possible to answer parts (e) and (f), as the Ministry of Justice extract of the PNC does not contain the information required. Arrest information (part e) is a matter for the Home Office.
