The rate of sex offenders among residents in the area now stands at 150 in 100,000 people
area at the end of March this year, up from 3,000 the year previous. The area has seen a year-on-year increase from 2,941 in 2020 and 2,867 in 2019.
The Ministry of Justice recorded a significant jump in sexual harm prevention orders last year, which coincided with a 57% increase in the number of people convicted of sexual offences in 2020-21 following the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions on courts.

SHPOs are applied when the court believes a protection order is needed to protect the public from sexual harm and can include a ban on foreign travel to protect children from sexual harm abroad. A total of 5,753 SHPOs were handed down nationally in the year to March – up 33% from 4,325 in 2020-21. Of these, 286 were imposed on offenders in West Yorkshire last year.
