These figures have been drawn from administrative data systems.
Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system
These data have been taken from the Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings database. These data are presented on the principal offence basis. Where an offender has been sentenced for more than one offence the principal offence is the one for which the heaviest sentence was imposed. Where the same sentence has been imposed for two or more offences the principal offence is the one for which the statutory maximum is most severe.
Excludes data for Cardiff magistrates' court for April, July, and August 2008.
Data only include those prosecuted and sentenced for drink driving and exclude those prosecuted and sentenced for causing death by driving under the Road Traffic Act 1988 added to by the Road Traffic Act 1991 and amended by the Criminal Justice Act 2003
Following the introduction of the LIBRA case management system defendants at magistrates' courts can be recorded as "sex not stated" and have therefore been excluded from these data
