Important information

7
For all police forces, data is correct at the time of extraction and is subject to future revisions.
8
Due to technical issues Staffordshire, West Midlands and Greater Manchester, outcomes for offences recorded in quarter are not up-to-date and therefore not comparable with other police forces.

Staffordshire: Due to ongoing data quality work on outcomes data, the force has been unable to confirm the outcomes data due to the changes made on the crime system.

The Ministry of Justice has been working with the Home Office, the Crown Prosecution Service and the National Police Chiefs’ Council to make the use of out-of-court disposals for adult offenders more effective.
In November 2014, as part of this project, three police forces (Leicestershire, Staffordshire and West Yorkshire) started a 12 month pilot of simplified outcomes. All three forces stopped issuing adult simple cautions (part of outcome 3) and cannabis / khat warnings (outcome 7) and limited their use of penalty notices for disorder (outcome 6). They used the adult conditional caution (part of outcome 3) and the community resolution (outcome 8) instead. These three pilot forces have continued to use the simplified outcomes since the pilot ended in November 2015. So Leicestershire, Staffordshire and West Yorkshire will have a smaller proportion of outcomes 6 and 7 and a greater proportion of outcome 8 than other forces. Since this pilot, some other forces have also limited their use of some out of court disposals. This may lead to apparent falls in some of these outcome types (e.g. cannabis/khat warnings) which may be accompanied by increases in outcomes 3 and 8 which will have been used in their place.
