1. A breakdown of bail orders by the main charge is not available for the period from 20 October 2007 to 31 March 2009. More details in Annex B.

2. The recording of bail orders has improved over time, so some caution is needed when comparing changes from earlier years.

3. Row totals do not equal the sum of the main charges for some years as bail can be granted following the lodging of an appeal.

4. Excludes modifications to existing bail orders, persons counted once only where more than one bail order on same day.

5. Percentage of bail orders made where crime/offence type is known.
