* The rate quoted in the "referrals" column of the table is not the sum of the final two columns because it includes a small number of transfers, and because some children were referred both for offence and non-offence grounds.

NOTE: Tables 10 to 13 are extracts from "The Scottish Office Statistical Bulletin: Referrals of Children to Reporters and Children's Hearings 1995-96" published in May 1997.
