Definition and caveats

The number of returns from the UK of foreign national offenders — people subject to deportation action because of a criminal conviction — in each quarter.

Doesn’t measure: The number of foreign national offenders in the UK or in prison, people deported for non-criminal reasons, or whether the return was enforced or voluntary.
