Data reveals that 40% of arrests in some parts of the UK involve foreign nationals. In Cambridgeshire, out of over 21,200 arrests between 2021 and 2023, nearly 8,800 (41.5%) involved non-UK citizens, despite them only making up 15% of the population.
Cambridgeshire Police statistics suggest foreign nationals are three times more likely to be arrested than Brits, with an annual arrest rate of 21.5 per 1,000 people compared to 6.5 per 1,000 for UK citizens. Other areas, like Gloucestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire, also show higher arrest rates for foreign nationals.
These figures were gathered from 26 police forces that responded to a Freedom of Information request. However, the data reflects arrests, not individual people, meaning multiple arrests of the same person are counted separately.
Alex Phillips discusses the statistic with former Met police detective, Peter Bleksley.
