"In 2011, 82 per cent of offenders serving an immediate custodial sentence for sexual offences were White – this proportion has remained steady since 2005. There are proportionately more white offenders serving an immediate custodial sentence for sexual offences than in the overall prison population – in 2011, white prisoners comprised 73 per cent of the total prison population.
Of the other offenders serving an immediate custodial sentence for sexual offences, 8 per cent were Black, 5 per cent were Asian, 2 per cent were of mixed or other ethnicity, and the remaining 2 per cent were not stated or unrecorded.
