Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested.  We publish figures on the levels and trends of crime in England and Wales primarily based on two sets of crime statistics: the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and police recorded crime data. Neither of these data sources collect information on convictions.

Court statistics and data on convictions is recorded and held by the Ministry of Justice. They publish court statistics on a quarterly basis. The most recent publication can be found here. The Ministry of Justice may be able to help further with your question regarding conviction information for the last four years. They can be contacted at the following email address: ESD@justice.gov.uk
