Thank you for your enquiry.
We publish data relating to crime statistics from two main sources: The Crime Survey for England and Wales and crime recorded by the police. The magistrates' court defendant case level dataset is owned by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and we only make this available through Data First on the Office for National Statistics Secure Research Service (SRS). For the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000, if a public authority holds the information solely on behalf of another person, the information is considered to be not held. This is outlined under section 3(2)(a) of the Act.
If you want to apply for a project to access data within the SRS you will need to do so through the online Research Accreditation System (RAS). If you have any questions relating to the application process, please contact research.support@ons.gov.uk.
If you would like to contact MoJ directly about the dataset, please email ESD@justice.gov.uk.
