You asked
FOI/2021/2411:
Is there any data on how many COVID-19 prosecutions were carried out by ethnicity and overturned, by ethnicity?
We said
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding prosecutions by ethnicity.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information that you have requested.
The ONS Centre for Crime and Justice publishes data relating to crime statistics from two main sources - the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and crimes recorded by the police. Our focus is primarily on the victims of crime rather than the perpetrators, and neither of these sources hold data related to prosecutions.
For data on prosecutions, you can contact the Crown Prosecution Service directly at IAT@cps.gov.uk.
For data on offender characteristics, court proceedings and outcomes, you can contact the Ministry of Justice directly at ESD@justice.gov.uk.
