Notes: Receptions do not equate to persons received since someone receiving a custodial sentence after a period on remand, or several custodial sentences at different times or from different courts, will be counted more than once. Counting conventions and fine default are described in more detail in Section 5. A breakdown by crime type is published on the web in Table 16a.
