Information up to December 2018 on the offences committed by offenders sentenced to imprisonment for between 18 months and four years has been published in the ‘Sentencing data tool’, available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-december-2018.

To obtain the information requested, in the pivot table, filter the Custodial Sentence Length field to the following:

  • 10: Over 18 months and up to and including 2 years
  • 11: Over 2 years and up to and including 3 years
  • 12: Over 3 years to less than 4 years.

Then, click on the table to open the field list and remove ‘Offence Type’ from the Rows field and drag ‘Offence’ into that field. The table will populate with offences which received custodial sentences of between 18 months and four years.

Sentencing data up to December 2019 is due to be published on 21 May 2020.
