<p>The Ministry of Justice has published information regarding sentencing outcomes
for drug, possession of weapons, robbery, sexual, theft and violence against the person
offences in England and Wales from 2008 to 2018, which be found at the following link
–</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/802314/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2018.xlsx"

</p><p>In each case, in the ‘Offence group’ field, filter by -</p><p> </p><p>’06:
Drug offences’</p><p>’07: Possession of weapons’</p><p>’03: Robbery’</p><p>’02: Sexual
offences’</p><p>’04: Theft offences’</p><p>’01: Violence against the person</p><p>
</p><p>to obtain these figures.</p><p> </p><p>In each case, to obtain the number of
offenders who received a non-custodial sentence, subtract ‘Total Immediate Custody’
from ‘Sentenced’, both of which can be found in rows 26 and 36 in the pivot table,
respectively.</p><p> </p><p>In each case, to obtain the proportion of offenders who
received a non-custodial sentence, divide the number of sentenced offenders who did
not receive an immediate custodial sentence by ‘Sentenced’.</p><p> </p><p>Note that
the figures cover the 2008-2018 decade and all figures and proportions calculated
are based on those who were sentenced. To view the figures for 2007, please use the
following older version of the data tool –</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/733981/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2017-update.xlsx"
