answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>As a result of the Government’s unprecedented action to protect the public from extremists, we have seen a 75 per cent rise in terrorism-related prisoners over the last three years. That means we need to do more than ever before to confront and counter the threat, including the spread of all forms of poisonous ideology within prisons – and we are meeting that challenge. With thousands of prison staff now trained to deal with extremism, an enhanced intelligence capability and separation centres for the most subversive prisoners, we are well equipped to deal with this threat.</p><p> </p><p>In the last three years (May 2015 – May 2018), a total of 142 people have been convicted of terrorist-related offences in the UK. 38 were convicted from May 2015, 54 were convicted in 2016, 46 were convicted in 2017, and so far in 2018 4 have been convicted. Convictions in such cases are on the basis of the offence committed and not on the religion observed by the offender.</p><p> </p><p>Data concerning the religious or ideological beliefs of these offenders, if applicable, is set out in the tables below:</p><p> </p><p><strong>2015</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Religion</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted</strong></p></td><td rowspan="4"><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Ideology</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Church of England</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Islamic Extremist</p></td><td><p>38</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Muslim</p></td><td><p>37</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>38</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>38</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>2016</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Religion</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted</strong></p></td><td rowspan="5"><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Ideology</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jewish</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Islamic Extremist</p></td><td><p>50</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Muslim</p></td><td><p>45</p></td><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>No Religion</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>Right Wing Extremist</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>54</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>54</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>2017</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Religion</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted</strong></p></td><td rowspan="9"><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Ideology</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Atheist</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Domestic Extremist</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Christian</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Islamic Extremist</p></td><td><p>40</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Church of England</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Methodist</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Right Wing Extremist</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Muslim</p></td><td><p>31</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>No Religion</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Spiritualist</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>46</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>46</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>2018</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Religion</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted</strong></p></td><td rowspan="5"><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Ideology</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TACT/TACT-Related Convicted </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Buddhist</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Animal Rights Extremism</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Christian</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Islamic Extremist</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Muslim</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>Right Wing Extremist</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>4</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>4</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 25/06/2018 12:47:29 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
