<p>We have interpreted the request to mean the number of offenders convicted of a
Serious Further Offence (SFO) broken down by conviction offence type. The information
you ask for is routinely published and therefore available in the public domain, and
I have provided the link below.</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/serious-further-offences"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/serious-further-offences</a>.
We will publish SFO conviction data for 2018/19 next year.</p><p> </p><p>Not all charges
for an SFO will result in a conviction. In any year, in about 50% of cases either
the charges are dropped before trial, or the offender is acquitted following trial
or the offender is convicted of a less serious offence.</p>
