To limit the data to Wales, filter the data using Police Force Area and select Dyfed-Powys, Gwent, North Wales and South Wales.

For the number of Penalty Notices for Disorder (PND) issued for each tier of offence open the PND pivot table, limit the data to Wales, remove the variables from the rows box and drag the ‘Offence’ variable from the filters box into the rows box. For the total number of lower tier offences, in the ‘Offence’ filter, select all the offences that begin with DB. For the total number of higher tier offences, repeat as above, selecting all offences beginning with DA.

For the proportion of people who paid their PND in full, open the PND pivot table, limit the data to Wales and ensure the ‘Outcomes’ variable is in the rows box. For each year, sum the numbers for ‘paid in full - timing unknown’ and divide this number by the total PNDs issued (grand total).
