I'd like to request the latest figures about trans people and crimes. Ideally a full year of statistics, so I have an overall example. I'd like to know the following:
Number of trans women committing crimes and the types of crimes.
Number of trans men committing crimes and the types of crimes.
Number of trans women who are victims of crime and the types of crimes.
Number of trans men who are victims of crime and the types of crimes.
Number of women committing crimes and the types of crimes.
Number of men committing crimes and the types of crimes.
Number of women who are victims of crime and the types of crime.
Number of men who are victims of crime and the types of crime.
Number of "other gender identity" committing crimes and the types of crimes.
Number of "other gender identity" who are victims of crime and the types of crimes.
I'd like to know the numbers of the people referenced who were arrested, charged, found guilty, or found not guilty, or who had their charges dropped. Please filter by gender identity for each of those categories.

Thank you for your request.
We produce statistics from two main data sources, the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and Police Recorded Crime (PRC). Our publications and data concern crime as it is experienced by victims, or as it is recorded by the police across England and Wales.
We have grouped your requests below and, where possible, linked to the data that we hold. For data that we do not hold, we have signposted to the relevant organisation or linked to data that are available.
Offenders and convictions (relating to questions 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 11).
We do not generally produce statistics on offenders and convictions. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for producing statistics on offenders, convictions and prosecutions, while the Home Office are responsible for publishing policing statistics, which includes arrest data tables.
The MoJ publish court statistics on a quarterly basis, with the most recent publication released in September 2024. The MoJ may be able to help further with this request and can be contacted at CJS_Statistics@justice.gov.uk.
The Home Office are responsible for publishing policing statistics, which includes arrest data tables. If you have any queries regarding these data, the Home Office can be contacted at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
Victims of crime by gender identity (relating to questions 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10).
Tables D1 and D3 of our latest Annual trend and demographic tables present the proportion of people who have experienced CSEW headline crime and CSEW personal crime, broken down by sex and gender identity (gender identity the same as sex registered at birth versus gender identity different from sex registered at birth) for the year ending March 2024. CSEW headline crime includes theft, robbery, criminal damage, violence with and without injury, fraud and computer misuse. The number of victims for these breakdowns are not published.
Unfortunately, we do not hold further breakdowns within the "gender identity different from sex registered at birth" category. We have not created this as the sample size would not be robust enough to provide reliable estimates. The following datasets also provide prevalence estimates by sex and gender identity for specific crime types:
- Property crime – Table 6 (Robbery) and Table 8 (Personal theft)
- The nature of violent crime: appendix tables – Tables 1 and 3
- Domestic abuse prevalence and victim characteristics – Table 6
- Stalking: findings from the Crime Survey for England and Wales – Table 5
- Nature of fraud and computer misuse in England and Wales: appendix tables – Table 7
Homicide broken down by sex of victim and sex of offender are presented in Table 4 and Table 28 of our Homicide in England and Wales: appendix tables. These figures are taken from the Home Office Homicide Index. Table A5a of our Crime in England and Wales: Appendix tables also provides police recorded crime numbers broken down by specific offence, and in some instances, sex.
If you have any crime-related queries in the future, please email crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
