Thank you for your enquiry relating to the sentencing of dangerous dog offences.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information that you have requested. We publish data relating to crime statistics from two main sources: The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and crime recorded by the police. The CSEW is a victimisation survey, and police recorded crime covers the offences reported to and recorded by the police.
Statistics relating to convictions are primarily collected by the Ministry of Justice, and they may be able to provide further assistance. They can be contacted at ESD@justice.gov.uk.
If you have any crime-related queries in the future, please email crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
