Notes:<br />
1. Sentences of imprisonment for public protection introduced by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 on 4 April 2005<br />
2. These figures have been drawn from administrative data systems. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the<br />
detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system.<br />

The data are presented on the principal offence basis:<br />
where an offender has been sentenced for more than<br />
one offence the principal offence is the offence for<br />
which the heaviest penalty was imposed: where the<br />
same sentence has been imposed for more than one<br />
offence the principal offence is the one for which the<br />
statutory maximum is most severe.<br />
This table has been taken from table 2.3 of ‘Sentencing<br />
Statistics 2007’ publication available at the following<br />
