I am copying this to john for comment. My initial thoughts are that we can't go back in time as far as requested and we would have to check the relevant offence code or codes for ascertaining numbers proceeded against and presumably found guilty

Dear Sir or Madam, Would you kindly advise the number of crimes, by

country. Thank you, Yours faithfully, Edwin Fountain
