Home Office publishes statistics on foreign national offenders

Article summary

The UK government has announced plans to enhance the collection and publication of data on foreign national offenders (FNOs) within the immigration system. This move allegedly responds to increased interest from Parliament, media, and members of the public regarding the number and types of crimes committed by foreign nationals in the UK, as well as their subsequent treatment post-conviction. The reasons given for this initiative include improving transparency and informing public debate, as historically, data in this area has been insufficiently robust.
