Please provide information on crimes committed by illegal immigrants in the UK.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested. We publish statistics from two main sources: the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and police recorded crime. Both sources provide statistics on crime as they are experienced by victims, rather than perpetrators.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for collating data on offenders and may be best placed to assist you. They publish Statistics each quarter which may be of help. Should you need additional assistance or have any queries regarding their data, they can be contacted via ESD@justice.gov.uk.
Additionally, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) publish overall prosecution figures and police referrals as well as charging rates in their CPS quarterly data summaries which may be of use.
