APPENDIX 1 STATISTICAL INFORMATION

In previous years we included relevant statistical tables in the annual report. Following a review of our report format, we have decided not to replicate statistical information that is available elsewhere. Instead we have provided web addresses to guide readers to the range of statistical information that is now available electronically.

1. STATISTICS ON CRIMES AND OFFENCES RECORDED AND CLEARED UP BY THE EIGHT SCOTTISH POLICE FORCES IN 2006-2007

The Scottish Government Justice and Communities, Analytical Services Division, collates and publishes statistics on crimes and offences recorded and cleared up by the eight Scottish police forces. The statistics for the year 2006-2007 are now available and can be accessed at the following web address: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Crime-Justice/PubRecordedCrime
