Notes:
- 95% confidence limits have been calculated, taking sampling error into account, for the 1999 rates.
- The significance of changes has been calculated on the basis of rates taking population into account. Double-starred differences are significant at the 95% level (2-tailed). Single-starred differences are significant at the 90% level (2-tailed). Percentage changes are based on unrounded numbers.
- The category 'theft in a dwelling', is included under 'other household theft'.
- Attempted theft of/from a motor vehicle' is now classified as a distinct offence, whereas in previous reports it was included in 'other household theft'.
- For the distinction between crimes which are 'comparable with police' and 'other survey crimes', see Appendix F.
