What this measures

Persons arrested for notifiable offences in England and Wales in the year ending March, split by the ethnicity the arrested person gave (Asian, Black, Mixed, White, Other) with "Not stated" as its own category.

Officer-observed ethnicity (published separately in table A.01d), rates per head of population, or the offending of any group; an arrest is not a charge or a conviction.
