Reoffenders
(asked on 19th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many offenders who were granted early release from prison by the Parole Board have re-offended in each of the last five years.
The number of offenders sentenced to indeterminate sentences and released by the Parole Board, once they had completed their tariff, and who have gone on to re-offend, can be found in the Quarterly Proven Re-Offending Statistics published by the MoJ .

Notes:
1. Data regarding offenders released from indeterminate sentences up to September 2015 are extracted from the Public Protection Unit Database (PPUD). As data were not of sufficient quality for these offenders prior to 2009, they have not been included in the figures. Data regarding offenders released from indeterminate sentences from October 2015 onwards are extracted from nDelius.
2. 'Other life' category includes discretionary and automatic life sentences.
3. Data from April 2016 are not yet published.
The Parole Board will release prisoners serving an indeterminate sentence after they have completed the tariff set by the Court, where it is satisfied that it is no longer necessary for public protection for them to remain in prison. Offenders released by the Parole Board are supervised on licence by the National Probation Service
