UK Government Considers Publishing Migrant Crime Data Annually

The proposed amendment aims to inform immigration policy by revealing crime rates by nationality, visa, and asylum status.

A group of Conservative MPs, led by former immigration minister Robert Jenrick, proposes annual publication of migrant crime data in England and Wales.
The plan seeks to strengthen visa and deportation policies by identifying nationalities with higher crime rates.
The proposal mirrors approaches in the US and Denmark, aiming for transparency and informed debate on immigration.
Critics express concerns about the practicality and potential stigmatization, while the government emphasizes a commitment to transparency.
The initiative is part of broader efforts to manage immigration levels and address public dissatisfaction with current policies.
