Details

This publication provides final proven reoffending statistics for Community Rehabilitation Companies under Payment by Results and for the National Probation Service.

Final figures are provided for the quarterly cohorts from October 2015 up to June 2018, and the 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18 annual cohorts.

The bulletin is produced and handled by the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) analytical professionals and production staff.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the MoJ to have to change its data gathering, access and release practices, focusing efforts on priority analysis and statistics. In particular, we have paused access to the Police National Computer, essential in the production of the interim statistics, to minimise non-essential travel by our analysts. In line with guidance from the Office for Statistics Regulation (https://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Regulatory-guidance_changing-methods_Coronavirus.pdf), the decision has been made to cancel the release of interim figures within this publication. For the same reason, it also has not been possible to publish the data tool providing final proven reoffending data for the CRCs and the NPS by age group and gender as part of this release.

Please take some time to read and respond to the decision to discontinue production of interim proven reoffending statistics outlined on the back page of the bulletin.
