Notes:

Data for 1979 have been regrouped on the basis of the current Scottish Office Home and Health Department classification of crimes and offences which was revised in 1980.

Prior to 1980, the return included crimes and offences reported to the procurator fiscal by agencies other than the police in which a prosecution was taken. Since 1980, these cases have been excluded. In 1982, there were about 6,400 such cases in the whole of Scotland, of a total of 762,483 crimes and offences.

Details of the SOHHD classification are given in the SOHHD statistical bulletin "Recorded crime in Scotland, 1990" a copy of which is in the Library.
