The main facts and figures show that:

from 2009 to 2017, the average length of custodial sentences given to offenders increased for all ethnic groups

in every year during the same period, White offenders were given the shortest custodial sentences on average, and Asian or Black offenders were given the longest

in 2017, among all age and ethnic groups, White juvenile offenders (aged under 18 years) were given the shortest custodial sentences on average (at 17 months), as well as those from the Other (including Chinese) group (at 13 months)

among female offenders, Asian offenders and those from the Other (including Chinese) group were given the longest average custodial sentences compared with all other ethnic groups
