Notes
Information represents the number of crimes recorded during the period which:
- were not subsequently cancelled,
- had one or more female offenders linked aged 11-14 at the date the offence was committed (earliest date),
- the offender was linked with a positive outcome (e.g. Charged, Detected, PND, Caution, Community Resolution) i.e. where it is clear they committed the offence.
This information may be subject to further investigation, reclassification and cancelling and will therefore change over time.
