PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(12 November 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been sentenced for (a) murder, (b) rape and (c) other sex offences in each year for the previous ten years, broken down by primary language.

Asked by:
Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain)

The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of defendants sentenced for murder, rape, and other sex offences in the Outcomes by Offence data tool. The latest publication (2023 data) is available from the Outcomes by Offence data tool published here: Criminal justice statistics quarterly - GOV.UK.

However, it is not possible to identify an offender’s primary language from the centrally collated convictions data. This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
