| Notes: |
| 1. Non-scheduled offences(1) are included in table 3 where a defendant and/or co-defendants were charged with scheduled offences, and where the charge was 'reduced' (eg from robbery to handling stolen goods), or where a defendant pleaded guilty to a lesser charge. |
| 2. Breach of suspended sentences are included where the orders were made on scheduled offences. They are also included where the breach of conditions for non-scheduled offences are heard along with other scheduled offences. |
| 3. Where a person has been convicted of more than one offence, only that offence which received the longest sentence is recorded in the statistics. |
| 4. Unless where specifically stated (e.g. attempted murder or conspiracy to murder) attempts, conspiracy, aiding and abetting and involvement are included in the main offence. |
