Dear Ministry of Justice,

I would like to request the following information under the Official Information Act 1982.

For both Questions 1 and 2, could you please state:
a) the mean average and standard deviation; and
b) the 10th, 25th, 50th (median), 75th and 90th percentile.

Question 1:
How many previous convictions did people convicted of murder or manslaughter between 2007 and 2016 have?

Question 2:
How many previous convictions for Category 3 and 4 offences (as defined by section 6 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011) did people convicted of murder or manslaughter between 2007 and 2016 have?

Question 3:
For all the people convicted of murder or manslaughter between 2007 and 2016, how many (and what percentage) had at least one previous conviction that is a serious violent offence (as defined by section 86A of the Sentencing Act 2002)? Could you break this down by year, please.

Yours faithfully,
