The data is correct as at 20 May 2022.
The relevant Machete related crime records were obtained by specifying the Initial Modus Operandi Field as having a MATCHES PATTERN of ‘Machete’ or its variations. The Modus Operandi Code Level 3 Field was specified as a machete and also included as a filter.
The relevant Acid Attack related crime records were obtained by specifying the Initial Modus Operandi Field as having a MATCHES PATTERN of ‘Acid’ or its variations. The Crime ASB Keyword Field was specified as ‘Use of corrosive substance as a weapon’ and also included as a filter. The corrosive substance keyword seems to have been misused for drink spiking investigations too.
Please note that any keyword search may not be entirely accurate and any results would not necessarily answer your submission, and, therefore, could be highly inaccurate and misleading.
