Note:
(1) Reports submitted to the Courts, including Supplementary Reports (see Annex,
paragraph 17.4).
(2) Reports submitted to the Courts, excluding Supplementary Reports (see Annex,
paragraph 17.4).
(3) As a result of improved data recording in several councils, information on
breach applications is not directly comparable between 1999-00 and later years
(see Annex, paragraph 17.13). Due to the introduction of a new IT system, Glasgow’s
recording of breaches in 2002-03 is thought to be an undercount.
(4) Information on Supervised Attendance Orders was collected for the first time
in 2000-01.
