Data shown as at 11/11/2008
The number of Offences Brought to Justice (OBTJ) is in part affected by the number of recorded crimes in an area. If recorded crime in an area falls there will be fewer offences which can potentially be brought to justice.
The numbers of Offences Brought to Justice (OBTJ) for 2008 are un-validated data from the courts and police, therefore provided as management information as they are provisional and likely to change.
