Note : This table differs from tables 28 to 30, in that it looks at orders which commenced during the years in question and which have now finished, while tables 28 to 30 look at orders which finished in the years in question.

1. Successful completion rates are calculated as a proportion of all orders terminated minus those which did not finish due to the transfer of the orders.

2. One of the orders which was imposed in 2017-18 (a full DTTO with length of over 18 months) has to date not finished. This is therefore excluded from the numbers under "Number of breach applications during the life of the order" and is also excluded from all of the calculations for successful completion rates for that year.

3. DTTO IIs have been piloted in the City of Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian areas since June 2008.
