Crimes of Violence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many instances of violent crime have been committed by (a) foreign-born and (b) British-born perpetrators in every year since 2010.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office collects information on the number of notifiable offences recorded by the police in England and Wales, including violence and fraud.
However, this does not include information on the birthplace of offenders since this is not pertinent to the initial investigation of such crimes and is unlikely to be known by the victim reporting that crime.
