^{(1 )}Indeterminate sentences for public protection introduced from 2005. Notes: 1. There were a total of 959 sentences of Rape Section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, Rape (section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 1956) and Rape of a Child Under 13 (section 5 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003) reported to NOMS and recorded on PPUD from the period 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2009. 2. There are a total of eight tariffs unavailable because they have not been set yet, the warrant is not available or the offender received a whole life tariff. These relate to four IPPs and four life sentenced prisoners. 3. These are included in figures to show how many were sentenced in each financial year but have been removed for the purpose of the tariff calculation. 4. The figures were taken from the Public Protection Unit Database (PPUD) in the National Offender Management Service, and, as with any large scale recording system, it is subject to possible errors arising from either data entry or processing. The PPUD is a live database, updated on a regular basis. As a result, snapshots taken in consecutive days will contain differences reflecting updates.

⁽¹⁾ Includes robbery and assaults with intent to rob under the Theft Act 1968 S.8. ⁽²⁾ The statistics relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences the principal offence is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. ⁽³⁾ 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 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.
