The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many offenders who have been on the sex offenders’ register but have not been sentenced to a period of imprisonment have reoffended within a period of (a) six months, (b) one year and (c) two years in each year since 1999.
The answer
Offenders on a sex offenders register cannot be separately identified in the convictions data held on the Scottish Executive Justice Department court proceedings statistical database. Police Force Record Offices operate a variety of recording systems for monitoring and maintaining information on registered sex offenders locally but data from these operational systems cannot be readily extracted for statistical purposes.
