Overturned Convictions

Mark Charlesworth made this Freedom of Information request to Home Office

Home Office did not have the information requested.

From: Mark Charlesworth

20 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you confirm how many convictions there have been since
records began, and how many overturned convictions etc there have
been since those figures began. I do not require an annual
breakdown but just totals ie

Records began in 1881. Since that date there have been 100
convictions to 2008 inclusive, and of those 15 were
quoshed/overturned.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Charlesworth

Decisions to overturn convictions are made by the court of appeal therefore I believe you may be better off contacting the Ministry of Justice.

You may also want to be more specific - as by the way you have worded the question you indicate that the information is already available.

Also I'm assuming that there have been more than 100 convictions - convictions for what crime exactly?
