I am looking for the re-offending rates of convicted paedophiles in UK for the past 5 years.
If possible would you also be able to point me in the right direction for any results on the on going programme being run in prisons for voluntary chemical castration of offenders?
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We hold data on the number of crimes recorded by the police and measured by the Crime Survey for England and Wales. We do not hold data which relates to offenders and prisoners, and therefore we are unable to provide you with statistics you have requested.
Statistics regarding perpetrators of crime and re-offending rates are primarily collected by the Ministry of Justice and they may be able to provide further assistance. They can be contacted at the following email address: statistics.enquiries@justice.gsi.gov.uk.
Information on programmes being conducted within prisons would be held by Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service who can be contacted at: public.enquiries@noms.gsi.gov.uk.
If you have any further questions please email us at crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
