1. These figures are derived from a dataset which is independent of the dataset on court convictions and therefore do not include court convictions. In future we will investigate ways of incorporating the non-court disposals with the court convictions.
2. Includes any non-court disposal, and therefore could include police disposals as well as COPFS disposals.
