Refugee crime statistics for Kowloon West Region

Scott Edmunds made this Freedom of Information request to Hong Kong Police Force Kowloon West Region

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Hong Kong Police Force Kowloon West Region,

I would like to access your statistics on how many refugees (non-refoulement claimants), you have arrested for criminal offences? Yearly statistics would be great, going back to 2005 if you have it.

Do you also have statistics on prosecutions and convictions from these, and general arrests rates as compared to prosecution rates and conviction rates from your region? Or the wider police force if you don't have these.

As this request is by digital means, if you haven't sorted it to this level of granularity is OK, any data you can attach is useful and I can analyse it myself.

Yours faithfully,

Scott Edmunds, PhD

Hong Kong Police Force Kowloon West Region
