The statistics given are on a principal offence and primary disposal basis. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences the principal offence is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences the offences selected are the offences for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe A defendant could be issued with more than one disposal for a committed offence. The statistics do not include number of reparation orders given as secondary disposal. 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 courts and police forces. 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.
