PND data is a count of all penalty notices for disorder issued during the year. 2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the police forces and courts. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. 3 The offence of retail theft (goods of value under 200) was added to the PND scheme on 1 November 2004.
