The number of offences refers to the number of adjudications for which one or more
punishments may be imposed onto an offender. (2) Offences were recorded under the
2011 Census categories which have replaced the 2001 Census categories and therefore
Chinese have moved from "Chinese or other ethnic group" to the "Asian/Asian
British" category, and the group renamed to "Other ethnic group". This
is in line with changes made to the ethnic group classifications in other National
Statistic publications on populations in England and Wales following the 2011 Census.
(3) Includes prisoners where ethnicity is not known either due to no recording or
a recording of 'Not Stated'.</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
