Prisoners' Release: Reoffenders
(asked on 26th June 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of released convicts go on to reoffend within two-years of their release.
This question was answered on 4th July 2025
The proven reoffending rate and methodology is calculated using a one-year follow up period. Providing this information for a new two-year reoffending measure would be of disproportionate cost.
The proven reoffending rate for adult offenders released from custody was 37.5% for the 2022/23 offender cohort (latest year for which reoffending data is available).
