Notes:
1. All crime rates are based on population estimates for the middle of the previous calendar year (i.e. mid 2007 population estimates for 2008-09 crime rates). The population estimates are supplied by the Office for National Statistics.
2. Data for City of London are included in the England and Wales total but are not shown at force level due to the small resident population in this area.
3. The data in this table take account of the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard in April 2002. These figures are not directly comparable with those for earlier years.
