You asked
Can you please provide the following by way of a FOIA request?
Research study data that show sexual re-offending rates in the UK. This should relate to adult male offenders (aged 21+), and should focus solely on the years 2000 to 2015.
Data that show how the likelihood of further sexual re-offending can be mitigated; these data often identify protective/promotive factors, such as age, healthy relationships, duration since last offence, therapy/treatment status, etc. This list is not exhaustive.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry relating to sexual re-offending rates in the UK.
We do not hold the information that you have requested. We publish data relating to crime statistics from two main sources: The Crime Survey for England and Wales and crime recorded by the police. Neither of these sources hold data related to sexual re-offending rates and therefore, we are unable to provide you with statistics on the information you have requested.
Statistics relating to re-offending in England and Wales are the responsibility of 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.gov.uk.
