The Ministry of Justice has published information on out of court disposals including Penalty Notices for Disorder (PND) and cautions up to December 2018. This information, relating to specific offences, can be found using the Out of Court Disposals data tool.

In the PND pivot replace ‘Outcome’ with ‘Offence’ in the ‘Row’ field. The total number of PNDs issued for ‘DA12 Theft (retail under £100)’ will then be displayed in row 28.

In the Cautions filter by ‘offence’ to include only ’46 Theft from Shops’. The total number of cautions issued for these offences in each year will then be displayed.
