1. The imprisonment rate is based on the National Records of Scotland mid-year 16+ population estimates for 2011. The Scotland level rate includes prisoners with home addresses outwith Scotland and those with no fixed abode. This rate will be somewhat higher than the rate recorded in Table A.16 which is based on the total population.
