Dear Sir or Madam,

A publication by the Criminal Records Bureau "Employing
ex-offenders: A practical guide" claims that the Home Office
Offenders Index shows "that one in three men and almost one in ten
women born in 1953 had been convicted of an offence before the age
of 46."

Would you please provide

1 How one could find the details of this piece of statistics from
the Offenders Index; and

2 How one could find the itemized breakdown by the type of offences
in this piece of statistics.

(The response by the Criminal Records Bureau to an earlier request
of mine to the stated that it does not hold the information.)

Sincerely,

Dr Kaihsu Tai
