UK MOJ: FOREIGN-NATIONAL SEX CONVICTIONS SOAR 60% SINCE 2021; DEPORTATION PUSH INTENSIFIES

UK Ministry of Justice data drawn from the Police National Computer indicate foreign‑national sexual offence and rape convictions rose by over 60% from 2021 to 2024, comprising about 14.1% of such convictions in 2024. Seven Channel‑crossing nationalities collectively saw ~110% growth since 2021. The MoJ cautions the dataset’s limits (repeat offences, primary nationality only) and a fuller nationality/migration‑status breakdown is due later in 2025. The figures coincide with protests at asylum hotels, legal challenges, and stepped‑up political calls to speed deportations.
