We have taken non-violent offences to include:

  • Fraud
  • Drug related offences
  • Theft
  • Forgery
  • Money laundering
  • Handling stolen goods
  • Obtaining property by deception
  • Tax evasion
  • Unlicensed exporting of goods
  • Obstruction of justice
  • Bribery
  • Robbery

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.
