I have been trying to get the statistics on how many migrants have murdered British natives and how many migrants have been murdered by British natives.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested. Our data are primarily focused on victims of crime.
We publish a release called Homicide in England and Wales, which analyses data from the Home Office Homicide Index. The Home Office Homicide Index contains record-level information about each homicide recorded by police in England and Wales.
The accompanying appendix tables for this release provide data on the sex, age and ethnic appearance of victims and suspects but not migration status. It is important to note that the term homicide encompasses not just murder but also manslaughter, corporate homicide and infanticide.
We receive aggregated data from the Home Office Homicide Index only. As these data are collected by the Home Office it may be helpful to contact them directly if you have any further questions about the data. They can be contacted via email at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
We do not have details on the perpetrators of crimes. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for collating data on offenders and may be best placed to assist you. They publish Statistics each quarter which may be of help.
Additionally, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) publish overall prosecution figures and police referrals as well as charging rates in their CPS quarterly data summaries, which may be of use.
If you have any questions, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) may be able to help you further and can be contacted at CJS_Statistics@justice.gov.uk.
If you have any other questions, please email us at crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
