<p>The Ministry of Justice collates information centrally on a defendant level basis.
This data does not identify all multi-defendant trials – for example, it does not
capture data on those defendants who may be tried and convicted separately or at a
later date from others who were party to the same offence.</p><p>To ascertain the
number of Crown Court cases with multiple defendants that result in a homicide conviction
broken down by ethnicity since 2005 could only be achieved at disproportionate costs.</p><p>The
Ministry of Justice has published information on convictions for homicide, up to 31
December 2021, and this can be found in the principle offence proceedings and ‘Outcomes
by Offence’ data tool, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-december-2021"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-december-2021</a>.</p><p>In
the “Outcomes by Offences” document, select the `Prosecutions and Convictions’ page.</p><p>For
homicide offence, select the following offences in the O<em>ffence </em>filter:</p><ul><li>1
Murder</li><li>4.1 Manslaughter</li><li>4.2 Infanticide</li><li>4.10 Applicable organisation
causing death by gross breach of duty of care</li></ul><p>The number of convictions
for homicide for each year can be found in the `Convicted’ row (row 25). To view data
on ethnicity, drag the <em>Ethnicity</em> filter, from the filters area (in the pivot
table field list), and move to the rows area.</p><p>Publications from previous years
