Convicted Penal Population By Gender And Offence Group, Annual

Description

This annual series reports Singapore's convicted penal population by gender and offence group from 2012 to 2025. It enables comparisons across offence categories, between males and females, and over time, providing an official statistical view of the sentenced prison population. The data can support criminal-justice research, correctional planning and trend monitoring, but should not be interpreted as counts of crimes, arrests or all persons passing through custody.
