Note: The OCR source was severely degraded with column misalignment, mixed languages, and garbled characters. This reconstruction restores the logical table structure based on discernible headers, offence categories, and numerical patterns. Figures marked ... indicate values illegible or unrecoverable from the source. The final total of 32,372 cases is inferred from the partial total line "82,372 | 31,814" (likely a misread of 32,372). Male/Female totals at bottom (1,517 M, 1,085 F) are from the last legible gender row.
