Methodology
The recorded outcome of Metropolitan Police stop and search, as a share of all searches in each month. A no further action disposal is the force's own category; it is not rewritten as nothing found. Missing outcomes remain Not recorded. The linked object-by-outcome view counts the same searches jointly and suppresses combinations containing fewer than ten records.
