Offenders: Foreign Nationals
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many crimes were committed by foreign nationals in England and Wales in (1) 2023–24, (2) 2024–25, and (3) 2025–26; of those, what crimes were the most common; and in what counties they were most common.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on convictions and sentences for a wide range of offences, including theft in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics - GOV.UK
However, data held centrally does not include if the defendant is a foreign national. This information may be held in the court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
