Note:
* If a person is prosecuted on two or more occasions in a year, he will be recorded once for each occasion; on the other hand, if a person
is prosecuted on the same occasion for more than one offence, only the principal offence will be taken for tabulation. † Figures of 1981 and 1982 have been revised to be comparable with those of 1983 as new counting rules of crime were introduced since 1.1.83.
