Subject: Freedom of Information
request - Refugee crime
Reference: statistics for Yuen Long
District

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Hong Kong Police Force Yuen Long District,

Can you please provide data on arrest statistics of refugees
(non-refoulement claimants). Specifically I would like:

1. The most complete yearly statistics of refugee arrests from Tuen Mun
district for every full year you have data going back to 2005, plus your
total arrest statistics from the same time period to put that data into
into context.

3. From this data, if you have breakdowns on how many of the refugees were
arrested for immigration offences, employment offences, and violent
crimes, that will be helpful as well.

23.. If you have a breakdown of prosecution and conviction rates that
would be useful too.

4. On top of total numbers, if you have the nationalities of the refugees
arrested that information would be useful as well.

For all of this 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 address ) would work best in this case.

Yours faithfully,

Scott Edmunds
