Supplementary notes

*Sexual assault incidents account for less than 2% of all assault incidents. Determination of whether a particular assault should be classified as sexual is guided by the wishes of the victim. A small proportion of those reported here will refer to incidents that occurred outside prison custody and some will be unproven allegations.
