1. Forces can only identify a repeat victim if s/he has previously been entered onto their database. The longer the database has been in existence the more likely it is that a repeat victim will be recognised as such. Police forces have maintained their databases over different periods and the proportion of identified repeat victims varies accordingly.
2. In many cases Lothian & Borders record previous incidents as either Yes or No.
