Anti-social behaviour incidents are excluded because police do not publish outcomes for them. Outcomes are updated as cases progress, so these figures will change.

Figures are from Gwent Police street-level data on data.police.uk, published monthly about two months in arrears. They count reports, not convictions, and can be revised.
