court proceedings relate to personsfor whom these offences were the principal offences for which they weredealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or moreoffences, it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed.Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, theoffence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penaltyis the mostsevere.<br />3Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurateand complete. However, it is important to note that these data havebeen extracted from large administrative data systems generated by thecourts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken toensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations aretaken into account when those data areused.<br />Source:<br />JusticeStatistics Analytical Services: Ministry ofJustice.<br /></td></tr></tfoot></table></p> |
