In 2020/21, 43% of all stop and searches (where ethnicity is known) were conducted in London and involved higher proportions of persons searched from minority ethnic groups when compared to the rest of England and Wales (Figure 4.02). , In 2018/19 Lancashire, Warwickshire and West Mercia stated that new IT systems and/or processes had led to changes in recording of detentions under section 136 of the Mental Health Act. There were a total of 426 homicides in London, where ethnicity of the victim was recorded, in the three-year period (2017/18 to 2019/20). Switch to the dark mode that's kinder on your eyes at night time. Figure 4.02: Distribution of stop and searches in London and England and Wales, by ethnicity, 2020/21. Where there are differences between groups that are statistically significant this will be stated. The Black ethnic group had the highest proportion of defendants remanded in custody, at 52%, whereas the White ethnic group had the lowest, at 36%. Asian and Chinese or Other[footnote 65] offenders had a higher proportion of first-time offenders at 23% and 35% respectively, compared to White and Black offenders at 16% and 14% respectively[footnote 66]. The HMPPS Offender Equalities report 2020/21 also includes information on: Mother and Baby units, Sexual Orientation in the Prison Population, Transgender Prisoners, Accredited Programmes, Incentives and Earned Privileges and Electronic Monitoring. In 2020/21, 77% of stop and searches conducted on individuals from the Asian ethnic group were for drugs, compared to 67 to 68% of all other ethnic groups. In 2020, children from the Black ethnic group had a higher proportion of defendants remanded in custody at Crown Court, at 55%, compared to children from the White ethnic group (45%). A small proportional decrease of White offenders was observed, with a decrease of 2 percentage points since 2016. The greatest disparity appears at the point of stop and search, custodial remands and prison population. When ethnicity is self-reported, it is based on five broad categories: White, Black, Asian, Mixed and Chinese or Other. Ethnicity and the criminal justice system statistics 2020 This collection of reports compiles statistics from data sources across the Criminal Justice System (CJS) in England and Wales, to. , Personal crime includes violence, robbery, theft from the person and other theft of personal property excluding fraud and computer misuse. These data are based on the ONS headcount specification and may differ from other published figures due to differing specifications. A pupil may be excluded for one or more suspensions up to a maximum of 45 school days in a single academic year. Individuals from the Black ethnic group also had the lowest proportion of suspended sentences, at 14% in 2020. , Caution must be taken with interpreting data from the Chinese or Other group as the population size is very small. The largest change in the proportion of staff was a 1.2 pp increase in the Asian ethnic group[footnote 93]. To allow users to assess the confidence they have in the data we are using, levels of missing or unreported ethnicity are reported throughout. Crime lower work tends to be relatively high volume, lower cost units of criminal legal aid work. Where ethnicity was known, first time offenders[footnote 64] accounted for 16% of all adult offenders cautioned or convicted for an indicatable offence in 2020. The proportion of Black young offenders eligible for FSM (72%) sentenced to more than 12 months in custody was significantly higher than the proportion for White young offenders (62%). The custody rate for White children was consistently lower than for Black children (by 3 to 5 percentage points, pp) between 2016 and 2020. The Ministry of Justice would welcome any feedback on the content, presentation or on any other aspect of this bulletin we can be contacted through: Figure 7.10: Proportion of young offenders who finished Key Stage 4 in either 2013/14 or 2014/15 with Special Educational Needs, by ethnicity, in England (Source: Table 7.3 and Table CH2c)[footnote 77]. In response to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, interviews were suspended two weeks early in March 2020. This section looks at the Pre-Sentence Reports (PSRs) received and the agreement (concordance) between recommendations made in PSRs and sentences issued at court, and whether they differ between ethnic groups. , Due to a change in the data collection framework in 2021, officers who identify as Chinese are now counted under the Asian ethnic group, in line with the 2011 ONS Census classifications. , Excludes declarations of prefer not to say. , Includes City of London and Metropolitan Police forces. The ACSL has been consistently lower for White male offenders than all ethnic minority groups, a disparity that has increased over the last 5 years for male offenders. In 2020, 59% of Asian child offenders had no previous offender history, compared to 50% for White, 47% for Black and 57% for Chinese or Other children. This highlights that controlling for offence mix reduces the disparity between ethnic groups. For example, in 2020, 40% of all convictions of Black individuals were for drug offences. , See Appendix I for further details of how detailed ethnicity categorisations are aggregated. In this chapter, those conducted under section 1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) and section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 have been combined[footnote 22]. The location in which a homicide was committed showed marked differences between ethnic groups. The ACSL for drug offences has increased across all ethnic groups over the past 5 years. Navigate toBy ethnicity of defendant over timesection 4. The proportion of staff from White backgrounds has decreased between 1 and 2.4 percentage points across all CJS organisations over the last 5 years, largely driven by increases in the proportion of staff from Asian and Mixed ethnic backgrounds. Proportion of sentence served is affected by factors such as offence mix and behaviour in prison. This trend varied by ethnic group and reduction in the number of arrests was more pronounced for White (-35%) and Black (-33%) children. of Justice National statistics Women and the Criminal Justice System 2021 Published 24 November 2022 Applies to England and Wales 1.

Within the Ministry of Justices statistical publications there can be three main reasons for statistics to be revised: Changes in how either source administrative systems collect information or a change in statistical methodology to improve accuracy and measurement. Dont worry we wont send you spam or share your email address with anyone. , Offences recorded as homicide as at 15 December 2020; figures are subject to revision as cases are dealt with by the police and by the courts, or as further information becomes available. This includes putting more information in the public domain with ethnicity breakdowns, the use of the Relative Rate Indexes[footnote 6] where appropriate and a focus on outcomes for children distinct form the adult population. Larger proportions of defendants from Black, Asian and Chinese or Other ethnic groups who were remanded in custody were acquitted or not tried (ranging from 13% to 15%) compared with defendants of White and Mixed ethnicities (9% and 10% respectively). , Concordance rates are calculated by dividing the number of those who were recommended to receive a sentence disposal and did receive it, by all those who were recommended to receive it. Across the past 5 years, White defendants consistently had the highest guilty plea rate, at 79% in 2020, followed by defendants of the Mixed ethnic group at 73%, Chinese or Other ethnic groups at 72%, Asian at 68% and Black defendants at 66%. In comparison, these age groups accounted for 6% of victims from the White, 17% from Asian and 27% from Other ethnic groups. Relative proportions of arrests across ethnic groups remained stable between 2016/17 and 2020/21. Between 2019 and 2022, the homicide rate for people of the Black ethnic group was 39.7 homicides per million population in England and Wales, far higher than that of the white ethnic group,. In 2020/21, stop and searches which resulted in arrests accounted for 12% of total arrests made in England and Wales (where ethnicity is known). It investigates the differences between ethnic groups[footnote 81] for these offences, and whether this picture has changed over time. Outcomes for minority ethnic children are often more pronounced than White children at various points of the CJS. , The custody rate is the proportion of all offenders sentenced to immediate custody, out of all offenders sentenced. The largest difference was observed in the Black ethnic group, which saw a 3 percentage point difference between custody rate and controlled custody rate, at 33% and 36% respectively. When offence mix was controlled for, a decrease in ACSL was seen for all ethnic groups, closer to that of the White ethnic group. The total number of stop and searches, where ethnicity was known, increased between 2017/18 (266,000) and 2020/21 (557,000). Where a source is not National Statistics, users should consider this when making judgements about the weight that can be put on related findings. In 2020, the custody rate was highest for the Chinese or Other ethnic group, at 64% and lowest for the Mixed ethnic group at 48%. White prisoners reported more positive experiences on their wing/houseblock compared to prisoners of other ethnicities, with 90% of White prisoners reporting that they could shower every day, in comparison with 80% of Black prisoners. The proportion of White victims decreased by 7 percentage points (pp) since the previous three-year period (2014/15 to 2016/17), with corresponding increases in the proportions of victims from Black (up 3pp), Asian (up 2pp), and Other (up 2pp) ethnic groups. The Black ethnic group had the highest proportion of young offenders with SEN at 79%, combining SEN with statement and without statement. A higher proportion of prosecutions for Black and Mixed ethnic groups were against children, 12% and 14% respectively, compared to 5% for White defendants. The most frequent method of killing in homicides with Asian victims was Strangulation (38%), closely followed by sharp instrument (35%). Black and Other ethnicity suspects had the highest proportion of stop and searches where nothing was found (both 76%), followed by Asian suspects (74%). , This figure includes 96 victims of Hillsborough and four victims of the Westminster Bridge attack in the year ending 2017, and 31 victims of the terrorist attacks that involved multiple victims, including the Manchester Arena bombing, and the London Bridge attack recorded in the year ending 2018. As this data is now several years old it may not accurately represent the distribution of ethnic groups in the population, particularly for children when comparing to 2018 CJS figures. Figure 4.03: Arrests in England and Wales by ethnicity, 2016/17 to 2020/21[footnote 35]. , Data for stop and searches is published by Home Office in Stop and search open data tables, Stop and searches under s60 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 accounted for approximately 1% of all stop and searches (s1 and s60) in the latest year. This varied by ethnic group; in 2020, 81% of White offenders who were remanded in custody went on to receive an immediate custodial sentence, compared to 79% of Asian offenders and 70% of Black offenders . If we become concerned about whether these statistics are still meeting the appropriate standards, we will discuss any concerns with the Authority promptly. In 2020/21, 21% of all stop and searches (where ethnicity is known) resulted in an outcome that was linked to the reason for the search, i.e. 2, See technical guide for further information relating to the impact of COVID-19 on the courts. , Overall pupil population referring to cohort 2014/15.

Arrests for Asian, Mixed and Other ethnicity children declined 24% to 25%. These include: Survey data from Her Majestys Inspectorate of Prisons Annual Report, (New) Understanding Educational Background of Offenders (MoJ/ DfE data share). The proportion of Black and Asian young offenders, sentenced to custody, achieving any pass at GCSE or 5 GCSEs A*-G was significantly higher than the proportion of White young offenders. In 2020, 70% of the legally aided prison law workload related to White defendants, 11% to Black, 8% to Other, 6% to Mixed and 5% to Asian. The largest proportionate decrease was seen in the White and Black ethnic groups (-18% and -17% respectively). Asian offenders had a longer ACSL for drug offences compared to all other ethnic groups, which ranged from 31.8 to 39.8 months. , The decrease in numbers of sentences in 2020 is mainly a result of court closures due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. In the 2020/21 HM Inspectorate of Prisons survey, prisoners from ethnic minority groups reported more negative results across the survey. The largest proportionate change was seen in prosecutions of White defendants, decreasing from 79% of all prosecutions to 76% (resulting in a 1% proportionate increase across all ethnic minority groups). Figure 8.04: Proportion of prosecutions for selected drug offences, by ethnicity, 2020, England and Wales. the officer found what they were searching for), and those where the item found was not what the officer was searching for, or where nothing was found. This overall increase in guilty plea rates of defendants dealt with in the latest year is due to restrictions courts faced on progressing jury trials (not-guilty pleas) as a result of the response to COVID-19. In 2020, a higher proportion of prosecutions of Black and Mixed defendants were against children, 12% and 14% respectively, compared to 5% of White defendants[footnote 63]. Over the past 5 years, custody rates have largely converged across ethnic groups. Across all minority ethnic groups, the most common reason for arrest was violence against the person, followed by drug offences. The processes by which other revisions will be communicated and published. The following offence groups will be of particular focus: As noted in the introduction, comparisons across ethnic groups do not account for previous offending history, detailed offence mix and other offender characteristics and that should be considered when interpreting results in this section. National Statistics status can be removed at any point when the highest standards are not maintained and reinstated when standards are restored. This proportion varied between 10% and 17% for all other ethnic groups in 2020/21. The reoffending rate for Black adult offenders was highest for 18-20 year olds at 35%. Where young offenders were received a custodial sentence of more than 12 months, Black and Asian children had a higher proportion of SEN, without statement, at 72% and 74% respectively, compared to White children, at 59%. 1. toMain facts and figuressection 2. toThings you need to knowsection 3.

It offers insights into the experience of victims which other sources of data, such as police records, may not capture[footnote 9]. This section focusses on disaggregating the outcomes that are a result of a professional judgement (i.e. Number of black people killed by white people. London showed a markedly different pattern than the rest of England and Wales.

This chapter explores outcomes for defendants[footnote 38] in the Criminal Justice System (CJS) predominantly drawing on indictable offence data from the Criminal Justice Statistics quarterly: December 2020 publication. This chapter explores police activity by ethnicity of persons stopped and searched and/or arrested. Drug offences vary both in nature and severity. Where differences are not referred to as being statistically significant these are either not statistically significantly different, or differences have not been tested.

In acknowledgement of the subjective, multifaceted and changing nature of ethnic identification, we use self-identified ethnicity where this data is available[footnote 5]. , See technical guide for information relating to parole board. , As a survey that asks people whether they have experience as a victim of crime, the CSEW does not cover homicides or crimes where there is no direct victim, such as possession of drugs or motoring offenses. Individuals from the Black ethnic group were proportionally less likely to be sentenced to immediate custody in 2020. Criminal legal aid can be split into two categories, crime higher and crime lower[footnote 48]. Under the Criminal Justice Act 1991, section 95, the government collects annual statistics based on race and crime. For the majority of the report, no controls have been applied for other characteristics of ethnic groups (such as average income, geography, offence mix or offender history), so it is not possible to determine what proportion of differences identified in this report are directly attributable to ethnicity.
