Ethnicity of suspect and victims 1166/2023
FOI Reference: 1166/2023
Request:
- A total breakdown of ethnicity of suspect and victim for total crimes going back in the past 10/5 years (happy for whichever is better for budget/time restraints) broken down annually
- A breakdown of ethnicity of suspect and victim for specific crimes going back in the past 5 years broken down annually (but happy for this to be totalled if cannot break down annually)
These crimes would be: Homicide, Robbery, Burglary, Drug offences, Sexual offences, Possession of Weapon and Theft (basically all crimes that would come under a 'Class' offence).
Response 1:
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.

It should be noted that as a result of the systems adopted by Dyfed-Powys Police in relation to the recording of such information that the information released may or may not be accurate.
Furthermore, it should also be noted that Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide crime statistics to government bodies and the recording criteria is set nationally. However, the systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the crime data. It should be noted that for these reasons this force's response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other response you may receive.
