1. Each crime/offence may have one or more aggravator codes associated with it. A crime/offence will be counted under each aggravator code associated with it, e.g. a homicide with a ‘racial’ and ‘religious’ aggravator will appear once in the racial aggravator column and once under the religious aggravator column.
