30 In 1987-88, a computerized Integrated Law and Order Statistical System will be implemented. It allows the efficient maintenance and analysis of records in respect of offences and offenders; the latter includes a complete record of the offenders from the time they are arrested to the moment they are discharged. The system therefore permits a more thorough analysis of the characteristics of crimes and criminals, and of the process of criminal law enforcement.

32 Expenditure on law and order projects was highest in 1982-83 when it was $736 million. In that year, construction of a number of major projects including the new Supreme Court building and the Shek Pik maximum security prison were well underway. Expenditure in 1985-86 to 1986–87 has levelled off at about $310 million per annum. With the construction of the new police headquarters complex phase I, New Territories police regional headquarters, Tai Po and Tsing Yi district headquarters and divisional police stations, the Eastern Magistracy building and the phase I re-building programme of Stanley Prison in progress, the estimated expenditure for 1987-88 is $273.7 million.
