FOI Ref: FOI/2022/4467
You asked
For England could you please give me the statistics for the amount of members of grooming gangs who were convicted of crimes relating to that NOT including CSE which didn't involve grooming gangs. I'd like the statistics broken down by ethnicity including "Unknown" ethnicity where the ethnicity of the person was unknown.
I'd like the stats from the 1980s to the present day or however recent as is possible.

Thank you for your request.
We publish statistics on crime from two main sources, the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and Home Office police recorded crime.
We do not hold data on convictions for offences relating to grooming gangs. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for data on convictions. The Crown Prosecution Service can be contacted by email at enquiries@cps.gov.uk. The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) may also be able to assist you. They can be contacted directly at ESD@justice.gov.uk.
All FOI requests and responses are published on our website in the Freedom of Information section. If you have any other crime-related queries in the future, you can email crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk.
