a: Baseline against which each CJS area will be monitored
b: Current Offences Brought to Justice figure for South Wales is for November 2004 - England & Wales total for December 2004 includes an estimate of the South Wales December 2004 figure
c: In a number of areas, especially some of the large Metropolitan areas, for example Northumbria and West Midlands, their success in reducing crime has impacted on their ability to bring more offences to justice. The target for 05/06 will take account of this. Data on recorded crime for the year ending March 05 will be published in June.
