Please could you provide the number of females currently under investigation for sexual offences.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold any data relating to the number of females currently under investigation for sexual offences. Therefore, we are unable to provide you with the information requested.
You may be interested in our latest publication Sexual offending: victimisation and the path through the criminal justice system. This article refers to a range of National Statistics and official statistics from across the crime and criminal justice system to give an overview of sexual offending in England and Wales.
The Crown Prosecution Service appendix tables that may be of most interest to you are CPS Table 1, which contains data on the sex of the defendant in rape prosecutions and CPS Table 6, which contains data on the sex of the defendant for other sexual offences.
The Ministry of Justice appendix tables may also assist you. Table 2 contains a breakdown of defendants proceeded against at magistrates court. Table 13 contains a breakdown of offenders cautioned. Both of these tables include a breakdown by sex, age group and sexual offence.
