(1) Provisional data collated on behalf of HMIC. Serious assaults are those for which the charge would be under Sections 18 and 20 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. Other assaults include those with minor or no injury. Recording practices may vary over time and between forces. (2) Financial year runs 1 April to 31 March inclusive. (3) Cheshire and Warwickshire were not able to provide data from the HR recording system. Data are therefore taken from the crime system and are not comparable with that from other forces. (4) Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cleveland, Cumbria, North Yorkshire and South Wales were not able to provide data for one or more years. (5) Derbyshire in all years and Devon and Cornwall in 2005-06 only were not able to separately identify the degree of assault. All assaults figures for affected years are given in the minor or no injury category. (6) Dyfed-Powys were not able to provide consistent figures for the reporting period, and data for each year are therefore not comparable.
