(1) The number of Offences Brought to Justice (OBTJ) is in part affected by the number of recorded crimes in an area. If recorded crime in an area falls there will be fewer offences which can potentially be brought to justice.
(2) The numbers of Offences Brought to Justice (OBTJ) for 2009 are un-validated data from the courts and police, therefore provided as management information as they are provisional and likely to change.
(3) Data shown as available at 04/01/2010
(4) Excludes data for Cheshire LCJB for August and September 2009
(5) Excludes data for South Yorkshire LCJB September 2009
