Lineage

The Proceeds of Crime dataset is based on the result of applications to the court by the Environment Agency for orders requiring convicted offenders to repay the financial benefits they received as a result of their offending. Once an order to recover the proceeds of crime has been granted, the details of the order are recorded on a database. The Proceeds of Crime dataset is an extract of this database in spreadsheet format.
