For the above two tables, we have taken non-violent offences to include:

- Theft
- Forgery
- Money laundering
- Handling stolen goods
- Obtaining property by deception
- Tax evasion

These figures provide updates on previously published statistics for 2018 (table 1) and for 2018 and 2019 (table 2). All figures are from local management information and have not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. As such they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change. The figures do not include Scotland, which deals with its own extradition cases.
