These Tables have been compiled from the annual Tables in the previous volumes of Criminal Statistics from 1900 to 1925, and from the Tables for 1926 in the present volume. The figures are taken from the following Tables :— Table A, Persons tried at Assizes and Quarter Sessions, from Table III, Table B, Persons dealt with for indictable offences by Courts of Table AB, All persons tried for indictable offences, obtained by adding together the figures of Tables A and B. Table C, Persons dealt with for non-indictable offences by Courts of Summary Jurisdiction, from Section B of Table IX, Column 2. Table D, Crimes known to the Police, from Table XVIII, Column 2. In each Table the titles of offences for which there were no figures are omitted. Table E shows the average figures, both actual and in proportion to population, (a) of persons tried for all crimes and offences for each quinquennium since 1900, and (b) of the crimes (indictable offences) known to the police during the same periods. The non-indictable offences are in this Table grouped in two divisions-those that are definitely criminal in character, and those which may be regarded as non-criminal." The division of non-indictable offences into "criminal" and "non-criminal" is discussed at page 22 of the Criminal Statistics for 1898. " In Table E the proportions are calculated on the population for the middle year of each period of years, e.g., those for 1921 to 1925 on the estimated population for 1923, those for 1915 to 1919 on the estimated population for 1917.
