Refugee crime statistics for the airport district

Scott Edmunds made this Freedom of Information request to Hong Kong Police Force Airport District

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

Hong Kong Police Force Airport District did not have the information requested.

Dear Hong Kong Police Force Airport District,

Can you please provide data on arrest statistics of refugees (non-refoulement claimants). Specifically I would like the most complete yearly statistics of refugee arrests from the airport district for every full year you have data going back to 2005, plus total arrest statistics from your district to put this information into context. If you have a breakdown of prosecution and conviction rates that would be useful too., and information on what proportion of the arrests are from immigration offences.

On top of total numbers, if you have the nationalities of the refugees arrested that information would be useful as well. I’m happy to take digital files if that’s easier, but please don’t send this information in tabular form in the email as I can’t view it. Attaching a PDF, or emailing other files to me (I can provide an email) would work best.

Yours faithfully,

Scott Edmunds

Hong Kong Police Force Airport District
