The figures given in the table on court proceedings relate to persons for whom these
offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant
has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest
penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the
offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most
severe.</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td>
</td></tr><tr><td colspan="7">(2) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures
presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data
have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts
and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection
processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data
are used.</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td>
