FURTHER QUERY

 Thank you for providing this information and for the notes regarding interpretation. On this issue, I wondered if there was an explanation for the large discrepancies in number of recorded crimes between 2017-18/2018-19 and the other years, as there appears to be a substantially higher number of crimes recorded in those first two years. Was there some kind of change in the categorisation of crimes or in the databases that might account for these differences?
