1. All other tables in this bulletin are produced from the "persons proceeded against" datasource. This table has been constructed from a different datasource: the "offences relating to persons proceeded against" datasource. Some offenders are convicted for more than one offence and this information can only be obtained from the latter datasource. The row totals for the individual crimes will not necessarily equal the overall total in "Any crime".
2. A more detailed breakdown of the crimes for which the cohort are reconvicted are omitted from the bulletin for clarity. They are included in the additional datasets which accompany this bulletin.
