1 No Further Action = Cases which were closed after proceedings had been commenced or attempted (e.g. cases which were closed because the accused died, the accused could not be traced, a key witness was not available, etc.)
2 Pleas = Cases which were disposed of at court without any evidence being led.
3 Trials = Cases where some or all of the evidence was led.
4 Sheriff Summary cases include cases dealt with in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court in Glasgow.
5 Total disposals will not equal total criminal cases received as some cases against the same accused will be linked and taken forward as one case. There is also a time lag between receipt of a case and final disposal so that, for example, some cases received in 2010-2011 will not have resulted in a disposal until 2011-2012.
