Notes
- Northern Ireland's police follow the Home Office counting rules, so the figures compare with England and Wales's police recorded crime in principle, though recording practice differs between forces.
- The PSNI's monthly tables carry no open licence, so the hub shows NISRA's annual figures, which do.
