Rebase reoffences

This function uses the published reoffending statistics to apportion the number of reoffences by index offence group to the number of reoffences by reoffence group. This function is only necessary when you do not have the number of reoffences by reoffence group.

rebase_reoffences(user_data, target_date)

Value

A tibble with number_reoffences by reoffence_group.

Details

This function validates the input data, filters by the target_date, calls apportion_reoffences, and assigns the target_date as the year_ending.
