Reports with an overview of key justice and safer communities statistics published by Scottish Government.

Introduction

This is the final monthly publication of this series. Going forward, the compendium of statistics will be published on a quarterly basis. The first quarterly publication is scheduled for 24 September 2026 and will be titled Safer Communities and Justice Statistics Quarterly Report.

 

The majority of the information included in the report is drawn from previously published justice statistics, as announced in the Scottish Government’s Official statistics: forthcoming publications. Prison management information will, in future publications, cover three months of data rather than a single month.

The decision to reduce the publication frequency to quarterly has been taken to ensure more efficient use of resources and to support wider justice statistics priorities. The impact on users should be minimal as the statistics this compendium draws upon are published no more frequently than quarterly (with many only published on an annual basis).
