given in the table 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.</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6"><p>Note:
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.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>
