Thank you for your request.
We have recently published our Sexual offences in England and Wales overview: year ending March 2025 bulletin, based on data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). Information on victim characteristics, including religion, is available in tables 4A to 4C in the Sexual offences prevalence and victim characteristics, England and Wales dataset.
We do not hold data on the religion of perpetrators of crime. Our publications and data concern crime as it is experienced by victims, or as it is recorded by the police. The Ministry of Justice are primarily responsible for data on offenders, and they publish statistics each quarter which can be accessed on the GOV.UK website.
You may also find the HMPPS Offender Equalities Report 2023/24 useful, as it provides a breakdown of the prison population by religion or religious belief. If you require any further information, the Ministry of Justice can be contacted directly by email at CJS_Statistics@justice.gov.uk.
