Offender management statistics quarterly: July to September 2014
This bulletin provides the latest statistics relating to offenders who are in prison or under probation supervision in England and Wales.
Documents
Details
Latest figures for the quarter July to September 2014 are provided and compared to the same period in 2013 for flows into these services (receptions into prison or probation starts) and flows out (releases from prison or probation terminations) as well as the caseload of both services at specific points in time.
This is with the exception of the prison population where more recent data are available (31 December 2014). Between the end of December, 2013 and the end of December 2014, the prison population increased by 1% from 84,163 to 84,691. This has been principally driven by a rising remand population, and a small increase in the sentenced population. The total non-criminal population has continued to fall over the last 12 months.
