The Performance & Analysis Department have provided the following information.
We searched the Niche Crime database for “Sexual Offences” within the Main crime groups field and pulled through the “SC Description” and “Sexual Offence Category” to further define the offence.
Victim and Suspect ages have been listed where recorded as well as the outcome.
Note- This data does not indicate published outcome rates as outcome rates for 23-24 will include outcomes from previous years where the crime is resolved within the 23-24 year.
