(1) These data are on the principal offence basis.
(2) From 1 June 2000 the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 came into force nationally and removed the use of cautions for persons under 18 and replaced them with reprimands and final warnings. The total figure of reprimands and final warnings makes up cautions.
(3) Data include the following statutes and corresponding offence descriptions:
Criminal Justice Act 1988 S.139(l) and (6): Have blade/article which was sharply pointed in public place
Criminal Justice Act 1988 S.139A(1): Having an article with a blade or point on school premises
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, other agencies, 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.
