Official statistics announcement

Justice Data Lab: July 2020

Tailored reports assessing the impact on rehabilitation programmes on reoffending behaviour analysed within the previous quarter, and summary of results to date.

Statistics release cancelled

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused MoJ to have to change its data gathering, access and release practices, focusing efforts on priority analysis and statistics. Our statement (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice/about/statistics) explains this further and in particular, we are pausing access to the Police National Computer, to minimise non-essential travel by our analysts. In line with guidance (https://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Regulatory-guidance_changing-methods_Coronavirus.pdf) from the Office for Statistics Regulation, the decision has been made to cancel the Justice Data Lab: July 2020 publication. We will keep users updated of any further changes via our published release calendar.
