Crime Levels: Statements.
To date, PULSE has proven its worth in facilitating a reclassification of crimes in order to offer a comprehensive description of modern criminal activity in a readily understandable form. Specifically, the new classification of headline offences, which corresponds in a major degree to what was previously defined as indictable crime, contains ten subdivisions in comparison to the four catch-all subdivisions previously in use. Similarly, the new classification of non-headline offences corresponds to the previously used non-indictable category.
