(1) As the same person may be found guilty of or cautioned for more than one offence, rows cannot be added together to produce totals. A person who is found guilty of more than one different type of offence is counted against each type of offence under th
	for all drugs act offences and all offences.
(2) Unsuspended imprisonment and youth sentences.
(3) A breakdown by type of disposal for import and export offences is not available from Customs data for 2000-2003. This is an estimate based on a ratio distribution of the total number of import and export offenders to the various drug offences.
