Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am conducting a comprehensive analysis of sexual offences. To facilitate this, I kindly request detailed police-recorded data on all sexual offences for the most recent 12-month period, if available, for the most recent full reporting year, and the last 10 years. 1. Offence categories – e.g., rape, sexual assault (by penetration), sexual assault (non‑penetrative), grooming, online sexual crimes, etc. 2. Geographic breakdown – by policing divisions or lower (e.g., county, borough, LPA). 3. Victim and perpetrator demographics: ◦ Age group (e.g., 0–10, 11–17, 18–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60 +). ◦ Gender. ◦ Race and self-defined ethnicity (including subcategories, e.g., British‑Pakistani, White‑British, etc.). ◦ Nationality (specify if naturalised; where available, indicate country of birth). 4. Relationship between perpetrator and victim (e.g., family member, acquaintance, stranger, partner, authority figure). 5. Location of incident (e.g., home, public space, school, online). 6. Offender criminal history (e.g., first-time offender or previous convictions). 7. Optional: Outcome of the case (e.g., charge, conviction, no further action). I understand that some categories may not be recorded or complete breakdowns may not be available. If this is the case, please specify what is available and advise on recommended routes for missing data (e.g., MoJ, NCA, CPS).
