Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested.
We publish statistics taken from the Crime Survey for England and Wales and crimes recorded by the police. We do not hold statistics relating to registered sex offenders or requests made under Sarah’s Law.
The Home Office Public Protection Unit may be able to assist with figures at the national level, although if you require information broken down locally then you would need to contact police forces directly.
The Home Office Public Protection Unit can be contacted at SexOffenderManagement@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
If you have any further questions, please email us at CrimeStatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
