    Not sure if this is the best place for this post, but I thought you guys, of all people would know.

    I'm doing a psychology project, but I need to get statistics for conviction rates in Ireland. I have a stat stating that 40% of men in the UK have been convicted at least once in their lives (Home Office, 2002), and I'm looking for something similar for Ireland. Where would I look for such a statistic?

    Thanks in advance.

    You might find something here;

    The QNHS modules are based on sample data - I'm not sure if such aggregate figures as you require are avalable for manipulation. If you are interested in gender differences, you can play around with the pulse system statistics (and sort by gener) from the CSO's website - just be careful, as the system distinguishes between detected and recorded crime, which may lead to under-enumeration in certain categories.
