Further to the answer to question S4W-26260 by Michael Matheson on 9 July 2015, how many registered sex offenders have been assessed and ma…

All offenders managed under the Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) are subject to risk assessment and risk management planning.
The figures below are presented by year and Community Justice Authority (CJA) area. The data are taken from more than one source and this includes from each CJA and from ViSOR, the UK wide violent and sexual offender database, which stores information relating to registered sex offenders in Scotland. This is an operational system for the management of offenders and the data are therefore subject to continuous adjustment. The data from 2007 to 2011 relates to the total number of offenders subject to the Sex Offender Notification Requirements (SONR) who were assessed and managed over the course of a whole year. From 2012 the data relates to the total number of offenders recorded as being subject to the SONR on the 31 March of each year. Whilst the numbers broadly correlate, it is important to note that they are the subject of different methodologies and therefore this means comparisons between years should be treated with caution. The Scotland wide data from 2012 to 2014 is included in the MAPPA National Overview Report published on 30 October 2014 and available through the following link:http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0046/00462072.pdf
