Analysis

A broad policing activity list has been drawn up to cover the range of activities listed in the Journal. Each of the 2500 entries in the Journal has been coded with the single activity best fitting its content. A table has been prepared showing, for each month, the single main activity for each of the entries.

Supplementary counts have identified all incidents directly or indirectly involving a prisoner and all assaults on, or obstruction of, officers.

This link will open the table ( a .pdf.) in a new window.
