answer text <p>Our laws in these areas are robust and clear. The Government takes very seriously all matters relating to the sexual abuse of children. Those who commit sexual offences are more likely to go to prison now than in 2010.</p><p> </p><p>The number of defendants convicted of offences under section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 where the victim was a child under 16, together with all offences under sections 2, 5, 6 and 7 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 can be viewed in the table. As the Sexual Offences Act 2003 replaced the Sexual Offences Act 1956 for these offences all proceedings reflect that Act too, as per the footnote.</p><p> </p><p>Statistics in respect of victims of offences under section 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 cannot be broken down by age.</p><p> </p><p>Also, my department's Court Proceedings Database holds information on criminal justice statistics only in England and Wales. Criminal Justice Statistics in Northern Ireland are a matter for the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland. Likewise, Criminal Justice Statistics in Scotland are a matter for the Scottish Government.</p><p> </p>
