Time period for conviction data relates to the date of SFO notification to HMPPS not the date of conviction.
“Other serious sexual/violent offences” refer to other serious violent or sexual offences which carry a maximum custodial penalty of more than 10 years.
The data only includes convictions for serious further offences that have been notified to the national SFO Team, HMPPS.
The data provided are provisional subject to change when any outstanding cases are concluded at court.
Conviction data also includes cases where the offender committed suicide or died prior to the trial, where the judicial process concluded that they were responsible.
The data for April 2010 to March 2014 has been updated, and may differ to the original publication due to data cleansing, re-categorising and re-grouping.
Data Sources and Quality. We have drawn these figures from administrative IT systems which, as with some large-scale recording systems, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.		The table attached sets out the total number of notifications – that is, where an offender has been charged with a qualifying offence - followed by the resulting SFO convictions, by SFO offence, for notifications submitted to NOMS/HMPPS between 1 April 2010 and 31 March 2020.
