Reoffenders: Immigration Controls
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans he has to introduce routine collection and publication of reoffending data for immigration-related cases.
Answered by Jake Richards
The Ministry of Justice publishes quarterly statistics on proven reoffending of offenders which can be found here: Proven reoffending statistics - GOV.UK. These include reoffending rates presented in various breakdowns, such as by index offence.
We do not currently have plans to introduce routine publication of reoffending data for immigration-related cases. We keep the contents of our Official Statistics under continuous review, to ensure their compliance with the three pillars of the Code of Practice for Statistics: trustworthiness, quality and value.
