The numbers of Offences Brought to Justice (OBTJ) for 2007 are un-validated data from the courts and police, therefore provided as management information as they are provisional and likely to change. The final validated OBTJ data for 2007 will be published as a National Statistic by the Ministry of Justice in "Criminal Statistics in England and Wales 2007" during the autumn 2008.
