You asked
Please can you provide me with the number of convicted sex offenders in 2003, 2005, 2009, 2011 and 2019?
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
Our Sexual Offending: victimisation and the path through the criminal justice system publication provides information on convictions for sexual offences. Sexual offending: Ministry of Justice Appendix table 6 which accompanies this publication contains the number of offenders found guilty at all courts by sexual offence type, for the year ending December 2012 to year ending December 2017.
Data for the years 2005 to 2011 can be found in Table 4.7 of An Overview of Sexual Offending in England and Wales.
We do not hold any data for the years 2003 and 2019. Although, we publish some data on convictions for sexual offences, convictions data are held by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). If you contact them directly, they may be able to help you further. They can be reached at statistics.enquiries@justice.gov.uk.
