FOI 873/24 Blackmail Victims Age
Dear Sir/Madam
Enquiry Reference: 873 - 24
I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request, firstly please accept my apology for the delay. Below is your request and our response.
I am now looking for more information from each force about the ages recorded for the victims in these cases.
Cleveland Police’s recorded blackmail offences for each of the years is as follows:
12/13: 7
13/14: 7
14/15: 13
15/16: 30
16/17: 56
17/18: 60
18/19: 94
19/20: 86
20/21: 135
21/22: 238
22/23: 304
23/24: 350
Question:
-For each of the financial years since 2012/13, please could you break down the ages recorded for victims of all of the blackmail offences recorded by the force?
Please feel free to group ages. For instance, if there were 50 recorded blackmail offences for one year you could then provide the ages in groups such as: 5 aged 14; 5 aged 15; 10 aged 16; 20 aged 17; 10 aged 18 etc
Please see table below. Please note that sometimes our data doesn’t match with government data due to several reasons, such as incidents being updated as the data on gov.uk can be a snapshot in time, below is the latest data.
