We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

The crime statistics we publish are typically based on victims rather than offenders. We do not hold information on recorded convictions for offences, including motoring offences, or the punishments that convicted offenders receive.

The Ministry of Justice publishes a range of statistics relating to the operation of the criminal justice system, including on convictions and sentencing – the latest of which are available in their “Criminal Justice System statistics quarterly: December 2016” release and may be able to help.

For more information on their data, you can contact them via statistics.enquiries@justice.gsi.gov.uk.
