(1 )The National Crime Recording Standard was introduced on 1 April 2002. Figures for some crime categories may have been inflated by this.
(2 )More explicit guidelines for the classification of weapons, introduced on 1 April 2004, may have increased the recording of firearm offences, particularly those committed by imitation weapons.
(3 )Data for BB guns/soft air weapons have been separately collected only since 1 April 2004. Prior to that they were included within the imitation weapons total.
