For the financial years 2013/14 to the latest year available, a breakdown of the number of recorded victims of blackmail offences in that year by age.
I would accept a breakdown by age groups if individual ages are not available, and if it is necessary to suppress small numbers of victims in some categories due to risk of identification please do so.
The Performance Analysis Department has provided the following information
