Annex 8: Other Notes

6.61. Under the Code of Practice for Official Statistics, the estimated costs of responding to statistical surveys and data collection are to be published.

The estimated cost of compliance for supplying and validating the data for the 2012-13 bulletin was £4,000. Given the transformation that has occurred in Police Scotland over the past two years it has not been possible to provide an updated cost for this bulletin.

Details of the calculation methodology are available on the Scottish Government Crime and Justice website at:
http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Crime-Justice/costcalculation.

6.62. Clearly, only a limited selection of tables can be included in any statistical bulletin. Further analysis of racist incidents statistics can be supplied on request subject to Disclosure Control. In certain cases a fee is charged.
