n/a = Not available
(1) Data provided covers summary offences of driving etc after consuming alcohol or taking drugs (which cannot reliably be distinguished separately).
(2) Immediate custody includes sentences of secure training order, detention and training order, young offender institution and unsuspended sentence of imprisonment.
(3) Staffordshire police force were only able to submit sample data for persons proceeded against and convicted in the magistrates’ courts for the year 2000. Although sufficient to estimate higher orders of data, these data are not robust enough at a detailed level and have been excluded from the table.
Notes:
1. It is known that for some police force areas, the reporting of court proceedings in particular those relating to summary motoring offences, may be less than complete.
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 these data are used.
