Please provide me with rape statistics by ethnicity.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We have previously published estimates of the prevalence of people aged 16 to 74 who were victims of rape or assault by penetration in the last year by ethnicity. You can find these in Table 5 of our data for the year ending March 2020.
We have not created this information in our most recent data for the year ending March 2025 due to small sample sizes. However, our year ending March 2025 data may still be of interest. You can find the estimates of victims of rape by sex in Table 7a, and sexual assault victim estimates by ethnicity in Table 4a.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for data on offenders. The quarterly criminal justice statistics contain an outcomes by offence data tool which allows you to filter by offence type and individual characteristics, including ethnicity.
If you require further data on this subject, it may be useful for you to contact them directly at CJS_Statistics@justice.gov.uk.
