The spread of times throughout the day reinforces the argument that security measures do not provide protection from incidents taking place during the day. Prior to February 2001 the computer system and the reporting method in use makes it very difficult to retrieve incidents in specific premises types i.e. Schools and so I have been unable to obtain reliable figures in the short time scale available.
