The CPS holds a record of the number of defendants prosecuted for racist hate crimes.
The following table shows the number of such proceedings completed during each year for which figures are available, together with the outcome of proceedings. Outcomes are divided into conviction, including guilty pleas as well as convictions after trial, and unsuccessful outcomes, representing all outcomes other than a conviction.
CPS records are not held by parliamentary constituency, but according to the organisation unit of the service responsible for conducting the prosecution.
Separate figures are shown for north-east Essex, for CPS Essex, and for England. In addition, the table also shows figures for England and Wales in total.
