Notes:
1. The data in this table takes account of the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS) in April 2002.
2. These figures are not directly comparable with those for earlier years.
3. The Sexual Offences Act 2003, introduced in May 2004, altered the definition and coverage of sexual offences.
