However, the readily available information for persons found guilty at all courts or cautioned for indictable offences is contained in table 5.26 of "Criminal Statistics, England and Wales 1995", copies of which are available in the Library. Information for Scotland and Northern Ireland are matters for the respective Secretaries of State.
