This is an HTML version of an attachment to the Freedom of Information request 'Offence Coding'.

Dear Lord McDowall

Further to your Freedom of Information request of 1 September 2009 wherein you requested a list of offence codes and descriptors used within COPFS to code cases and identify offences libelled in a complaint, please find attached the list requested. You will note that this is a very lengthy document. It requires to be regularly updated to reflect statutory changes or common law charges which arise in individual cases.

I hope you find this helpful.

Yours sincerely,
