for an SFO. The NPS or CRC has three months to complete a review and will complete
each review unless charges are dropped beforehand.</p><p>SFOs are rare. Fewer than
0.5% of offenders under statutory supervision are convicted of a serious further offence.</p><p>No
SFO reviews have been reopened since 2010.</p><p>Data regarding the number of SFO
reviews that cited excessive workload as a contributory factor to that offence are
not collated as part of the SFO review process and could be obtained only at disproportionate
cost.</p><p>Data regarding the number of SFO reviews that cited inadequate management
supervision as a contributory factor to that offence are not collated as part of the
