INTRODUCTION This report deals with criminal cases finalised in 2010 in the New South Wales (NSW) Local, Children’s, District and Supreme Courts. There are several improvements in the current report worth noting. Corrective Services NSW and NSW Juvenile Justice custody data have been merged with court data to identify persons ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’ in the Local and Children’s Court. These replace the generic ‘in custody’ status which was used in the 2009 publication, and are a return to the bail status categories used up to 2008. This process allows identification of persons ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody’ for a prior offence for the first time in the Higher Court data (see new table 3.12). In past reports data on breaches of orders made no distinction as to the type of order being breached. We can now separately identify breaches of suspended sentences, community service orders, supervised bonds and unsupervised bonds. The breach offence data in this publication cannot be directly compared to that in the 2009 publication, however the Summary Tables in this publication contain revised 2009 data and complete data for 2009 is available on request. The current report contains a further three new tables. Table 2.6 shows the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons found guilty in finalised Children’s Court appearances by penalty for principal offence. Table 2.8 shows the number of persons charged in finalised Children’s Court appearances and duration of proceedings. Table 3.9 shows the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons found guilty in finalised trial and sentence appearances by penalty for principal offence. The inclusion of these tables brings the presentation of Children’s and Higher Court information further into line with the presentation of Local Court data. This is the first year in which data for all courts was sourced from the JusticeLink system, following its implementation in the Local and Children’s Courts in the second half of 2009 and the Higher Courts in 2008. Significant problems were encountered with incomplete or inaccurate recording of ex parte convictions, plea and legal representation. These problems have resulted in a large number of cases where we know there was a finding of guilt but do not know whether this outcome followed a defended hearing or a plea of guilty. The number of affected cases is shown on pages 3 and 8. The JusticeLink system was upgraded in November 2010 to address these data quality concerns.

NEW SOUTH WALES CRIMINAL COURTS

Explanatory Notes

EXPLANATORY NOTES This report deals with criminal matters finalised in 2010 by the New South Wales (NSW) Local, Children’s, District and Supreme Courts.

Data presented in this report was collected from the courts and maintained by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research. Data for the tables on prior proven offences for persons found guilty was sourced from the Bureau’s Reoffending Database (ROD).

For 2010, data for all courts was sourced from the JusticeLink system, following its implementation in the Local and Children’s Courts in the second half of 2009 and in the Higher Courts in 2008. For a small number of non-computerised Children's Courts that did not initially use the JusticeLink System, NSW Juvenile Justice provided raw data, which was processed by the Bureau, for matters finalised up to November 2009.

From 2009, warrants were no longer considered a finalising outcome in the Bureau's criminal courts collections. This aligns with the counting rules used in the Australian Bureau of Statistics' annual Criminal Courts, Australia (cat. no. 4513.0) and the Productivity Commission's Report on Government Services. This change resulted in approximately 5% of persons being removed from the Local and Children's Courts data and a minimal number being removed from the Higher Courts data. Because of this, data published since 2009 cannot be directly compared with data published between 1994 to 2008.

Offence data in this report is based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian Standard Offence Classification (ASOC), 2008 (Second edition) (cat. no. 1234.0). As reports published prior to 2009 used the 1997 version of ASOC, offence type data should not be directly compared.

The report includes information on offence type, court outcomes, penalties, bail status, court delay, and the age, gender, Indigenous status and prior offending record of proven offenders. In most tables the counting unit is persons charged in finalised court appearances or persons found guilty in finalised court appearances. In some tables however, the counting unit is the number of finalised charges. In these tables a person charged with more than one offence would appear more than once.

In some instances, the person charged may be a company. In tables where person attributes are presented (age, gender, Indigenous status and prior offending record of proven offenders), companies are removed. In all other tables, companies are included.

NSW CRIMINAL COURTS STATISTICS 2010 – EXPLANATORY NOTES

132

EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS

From August 2009, Local and Children's Court data has been sourced from JusticeLink, a new electronic system which links all NSW courts onto the one computer platform. Prior to this, Local Court data was sourced from (1) the General Local Court (GLC) System for computerised courts and (2) coding forms completed by Local Court staff at non-computerised courts.

TABLE 1.1: PERSONS CHARGED AND CHARGES

Charge A charge refers to an instance of a particular type of offence being charged against a person. A finalised charge is one which has been fully determined by the court and for which no further court proceedings are required. Prior to 2009, where there were multiple counts of the same offence (i.e. charged under the same Act and Section) and each count had the same outcome, the multiple counts were counted as a single charge. Since the implementation of JusticeLink, each individual count has been treated as a separate charge. Note however, persons are counted only once in the overall total.

Persons charged Data in JusticeLink are case-based, with each case containing one or more charges against a single individual. When different charges within the same case are finalised on either the same or different dates, these are counted as one finalised court appearance and therefore reported as one person. An individual may also be involved in multiple JusticeLink cases. Only when these cases are finalised on the same date are they reported as one person. Type of offence Offence groups in the Local Courts tables are based on the Australian Standard Offence Classification (ASOC), 2008 (Second edition) (cat. no. 1234.0). Table 1.1 shows offences classified at ASOC division, subdivision and group levels. In this report, the ASOC group ‘Breach of bond - probation’ contains breaches of supervised bonds and as such is entitled ‘Breach of bond - supervised’. The ASOC group ‘Breach of bond - other’ contains breaches of unsupervised bonds so is called ‘Breach of bond - unsupervised’. All other tables show offences classified at ASOC division and subdivision levels. Sexual offences against children In Table 1.1 and elsewhere in this report, the number of charges and persons charged for offences classified as sexual offences against children are shown separately from other offences in the sexual assault and related offences division. The subdivision sexual offences against children is not part of the ASOC classification. The offences in this category also appear in the appropriate ASOC subdivisions and as such are included in the total. Some charges which have been laid under Section 61I (sexual assault) and Section 61L (indecent assault) of the Crimes Act 1900, may have involved child victims. Such offences are counted in the sexual assault subdivision in this report, and so the frequency within the sexual offences against children classification is subject to undercounting.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS continued

TABLE 1.2: OUTCOME OF CHARGE

Charge Table 1.2 shows the court outcomes for all charges. Where a person was charged with more than one offence, each offence is counted separately. Those cases resulting in dismissal of the charge are separated from those in which the offence was proven. A charge can be dismissed by the court after a hearing, or where the prosecution elects to withdraw the charge due to insufficient evidence, or for some other reason such as the defendant's death. A matter can also be stood out of the court list for various reasons; this outcome allows the prosecution to re-enter the matter at a later time. Since the 2009 publication warrants are no longer a finalising outcome in the Bureau's criminal courts collections. Data in this publication should not be directly compared with data published prior to 2009, however comparable data back to 1994 are available on request Some of the major charge outcomes are described below: Offence proven: Conviction Includes all charges finalised by a plea of guilt or by a guilty finding at a defended hearing where the defendant was present.

Offence proven: Conviction ex parte Includes charges where the defendant either (i) lodged a written guilty plea and was convicted and sentenced in his/her absence, or (ii) failed to appear, was convicted and sentenced by the court on the evidence presented. Dismissed Mental Health (Forensic Procedure) Act Under Section 32 of the Mental Health (Forensic Procedure) Act 1990, the Court can dismiss a charge and discharge a defendant who is suffering from a mental illness. The defendant may be conditionally discharged and may be called before the court for failing to comply with the order within six months of the order being imposed. Under Section 33, a magistrate can order a mentally ill defendant to be detained in a hospital for an assessment; or discharge the defendant, either unconditionally or conditionally, into the care of a responsible person. TABLE 1.3 AND 1.4: OUTCOME OF APPEARANCE

Table 1.3 presents court outcomes for persons charged. Table 1.4 presents this information for persons who identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. The outcome types are:


134


Proceeded to defended hearing All charges dismissed: Appearances in this category involved the defendant being found not guilty of any offence following a defended hearing. Such appearances may have included some charges being dismissed without hearing. Guilty of at least one charge: In this category the defendant pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty by the court of at least one of the offences charged. Other: Appearances in this category include persons for whom one or more charges were dismissed after a defended hearing, but who either (i) pleaded guilty to other charges or (ii) were convicted ex parte of other charges. Proven outcome not further described Appearances in this category are those where no plea was recorded and so it is not possible to determine whether the matter proceeded to a defended hearing or the defendant was sentenced after entering a guilty plea. Sentenced after guilty plea Appearances in this category include matters where the defendant pleaded guilty to at least one charge, and any other charges were dismissed or otherwise disposed of. Convicted ex parte Includes charges where the defendant either (i) lodged a written guilty plea and was convicted and sentenced in his/her absence, or (ii) failed to appear, was convicted and sentenced by the court on the evidence presented. Note that since the 2009 publication, this outcome does not include where a conviction warrant was issued by the court for the offender to be brought before the court for sentencing. All charges dismissed without hearing This category includes cases where all charges were dismissed by the court, but there was no defended hearing. For instance, the prosecution may not have offered any evidence in respect to the case or the defendant may have died prior to finalisation. All charges otherwise disposed of This category includes cases where all charges were dismissed by the court, but there was no defended hearing. For instance, the prosecution may not have offered any evidence in respect to the case or the defendant may have died prior to finalisation. TABLES 1.5 AND 1.6: LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND BAIL STATUS

Tables 1.5 and 1.6 present the outcome for each appearance by legal representation and the bail status of the defendant respectively.

Legal Representation In 2010, Legal Representation was not recorded in 41.9% of persons in the Local Court. In data published prior to 2009, Legal Representation was recorded for all defendants excluding companies. Bail status Bail status refers to the bail status of the defendant at their final court appearance. Those remanded in custody are separated into ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’. Corrective Services NSW


135

EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS continued and NSW Juvenile Justice custody data have been merged with court data to identify those persons who were ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’. Those not in either of these groups were ‘on bail’, ‘bail not required or bail dispensed with’ or ‘unknown’.

TABLES 1.7 TO 1.10: PENALTIES FOR PRINCIPAL OFFENCE

Table 1.7 to 1.10 presents the penalties imposed for the principal offence in finalised Local Court appearances. Table 1.7a reports on drug offences only. ASOC does not include the type of drug in the offence classification. The drug type is therefore derived from the court records. The ‘Other’ drug category includes offences where more than one drug is involved and offences involving drugs which do not belong to any of the specified drug type categories. Tables 1.8 and 1.10 both report on persons who had identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin at any court appearance since 1994. Persons found guilty Persons found guilty are those persons who, for at least one offence charged, either pleaded guilty, were found guilty ex parte, or were found guilty after a defended hearing. Principal offence Appendix 1 provides explanations of the penalty types used in the Local Courts. Penalties shown in the tables indicate the principal penalty imposed for the principal offence. The principal offence is defined as the offence which received the most serious penalty according to the following rules: a) Where an offender was found guilty of more than one offence, that offence which received the

most serious penalty type is the principal offence. Appendix 2 lists the hierarchy of penalty type seriousness used for this calculation.

b) Where there were two or more offences which received the same penalty type, that offence which received the greatest quantum of that penalty type is the principal offence. (Note that for this calculation if multiple counts of the same offence type received different penalties they are treated as separate offences).

c) If there was more than one offence with a custodial penalty, the offence with the longest total sentence is selected as the principal offence.

d) If there was more than one offence with a custodial penalty with the same quantum of total sentence, the offence with the longest non-parole period is selected as the principal offence.

e) If there was more than one offence which received the same quantum of the same penalty type, including the same quantum of total sentence and non-parole period, the offence with the highest Median Sentence Ranking (see the Bureau’s Crime and Justice Bulletin No.142 ‘Measuring Offence Seriousness’) is selected as the principal offence.

f) Where an offence received more than one penalty, a principal penalty for that offence is first calculated following the rules set out above. The determination of principal offence is then calculated on the principal penalty for each offence.

Quantum of penalty Table 1.9 shows the average duration of principal penalties which involve a time component and the average dollar amount of fines imposed, where a fine was the principal penalty. Table 1.10 presents this information for those persons who have in the past identified themselves as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders.


136


Imprisonment Where imprisonment is the principal penalty imposed for the principal offence, the sentence specifies the term of the sentence and a non-parole period. The non-parole period must not be less than three quarters of the term unless there are special circumstances which the court must note. The court may decline to set a non-parole period, noting the reasons. For sentences of imprisonment of six months or less, no non-parole period is set. The average durations shown in Tables 1.9 and 1.10 include only the non-parole period where a non-parole period has been specified and the total term where no non-parole period has been set. Cumulative terms of imprisonment are excluded from these tables. In those cases where a cumulative term was imposed, only the non-parole period duration for the principal offence is shown. Note that a maximum of two years imprisonment can be imposed in the Local Courts for any one offence but the Local Court may impose a cumulative term of up to five years.

Community Service Order (CSO) Where a CSO is the principal penalty imposed for the principal offence a maximum of 500 hours of community service can be imposed on any one occasion. TABLES 1.11, 1.11a AND 1.11b: TYPE OF PRINCIPAL OFFENCE, GENDER, AGE These tables detail the age and gender of all defendants appearing before the Local Court. Age is calculated as at the date of finalisation.

TABLE 1.12: COURT DELAY

This table shows the time taken to dispose of a group of charges against a person by defended and undefended hearings by bail status at final appearance. It shows the median number of days taken at each stage of proceedings. The median duration is used in preference to the average duration as a small number of finalised appearances with very long durations would distort the data. The definition of median is that half of the records had durations less than the median value and the other half had longer durations. Note that medians can not be added. Where a person’s bail status changed in the course of the proceedings the duration may have been affected.

TABLE 1.13: PRIOR PROVEN OFFENCES Table 1.13 provides information on the 10-year history of prior proven offences for those persons found guilty in the Local Courts. This information is sourced from the Bureau’s Reoffending Database (ROD). The Reoffending Database is used to derive a 10-year offending history for individuals by searching and matching court records over the previous 10 years. Court records from the Children’s, Local, District and Supreme Courts are considered. Due to the application of matching techniques and slightly different composition rules (such as the exclusion of companies) the total number of persons within each offence type is slightly different to those provided in other tables in this section. The following prior offending categories are used in the table:

No prior proven offences At the time of sentencing, persons in this category had no prior proven offences of any kind in the past 10 years.


137


Prior proven offences, not of the same type Persons in this category had a history of prior proven offences but none were of the same general type as the principal offence receiving sentence on this occasion. This category can include offences which resulted in a term of imprisonment as well as non-custodial penalties. Prior proven offences of the same type, without imprisonment Persons in this category were found guilty of an offence of the same general type as the principal offence on a previous occasion, but not sentenced to a period of imprisonment for that offence. Prior proven offences of the same type, with imprisonment Persons in this category were found guilty of an offence of the same general type as the principal offence on a previous occasion, and in addition, had received a custodial penalty on at least one occasion, for an offence of this type. TABLES 1.14 APPREHENDED VIOLENCE ORDERS (AVOs) Table 1.14 counts only those orders finalised by a magistrate at a Local Court hearing. It does not include interim orders granted. Note that an AVO may protect more than one person. From 2007, data on AVOs granted has been based on the Statistical Division of the person against whom the AVO is granted (Person of Interest or POI), rather than the Statistical Division of the protected person as was the procedure for previous reports. The reason for this change was an increasing proportion of protected persons with no address details listed. This was due to the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 which provided that 'protected persons' residential addresses not be included in AVO applications unless in certain circumstances. Data in this publication should not be directly compared with data in previous years. The Bureau can, however, provide comparable data back to 1996.

AVO data are sourced from the NSW Police Computerised Operational Policing System (COPS). The Bureau does not collect AVO data directly from the courts. TABLES 1.15 AND 1.16: STATISTICAL DIVISION OF RESIDENCE These tables indicate the residential Statistical Division of the defendant. Within the Sydney Statistical Division, the Subdivisions are shown to provide more detail. In these tables, appearances are excluded if the defendant resided interstate, overseas or in an institution, had no fixed place of abode, or if the area of residence was unknown. Table 1.15 shows the number and rate per 100,000 population of Local Court appearances by defendant's residential area. Table 1.16 presents, for those defendants found guilty, rates per 100,000 population by the defendant's residential area and principal offence.


138

EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURT

Juveniles who were aged 10 to 17 years at the time of the alleged offence may be brought before the Children’s Courts, diverted to a Youth Justice Conference, cautioned by the Court or cautioned by the Police. This report deals only with court appearances, including finalised appearances following Youth Justice Conferences where the Court initiated the conference referral. Only matters involving criminal offences that are classified under ASOC are included in these tables. Apprehended Violence Order applications that are heard in the Children’s Courts are excluded. Similarly, juveniles may also appear before the Children’s Courts for complaints under the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998. These matters deal with issues such as neglect and as they are welfare matters that do not constitute criminal proceedings, they are not included in this report. Children’s Court data prior to 2006 had been provided by NSW Juvenile Justice. From 2006 to 2009, Children's Court data was sourced from (1) the General Local Court (GLC) System for computerised courts and (2) NSW Juvenile Justice for non-computerised courts for criminal matters to November 2009. From August 2009, Children's Court data have been sourced from JusticeLink. The quality of some key data items has been affected by the JusticeLink implementation. See the Local Court Explanatory Notes for more details. For these reasons caution should be used when making comparisons with Children's Court data published in earlier years.

TABLES 2.1: PERSONS CHARGED AND CHARGES Charge A charge refers to an instance of a particular type of offence being charged against a person. A finalised charge is one which has been fully determined by the court and for which no further court proceedings are required.

Prior to 2009, where there were multiple counts of the same offence (i.e. charged under the same Act and Section) and each count had the same outcome, the multiple counts were counted as a single charge. Since the implementation of JusticeLink, each individual count has been treated as a separate charge.

Persons charged Data in JusticeLink are case-based, with each case containing one or more charges against a single individual. When different charges within the same case are finalised on either the same or different dates, these are counted as one finalised court appearance and therefore reported as one person. An individual may also be involved in multiple JusticeLink cases. Only when these cases are finalised on the same date are they reported as one person.

Table 2.1 shows the number of persons charged with offences within particular offence groups. This table counts individuals more than once in all cases where the defendant was charged with more than one offence and those offences fall within different offence groups. However, individuals are counted only once in the overall total. Type of offence In this report, the ASOC group ‘Breach of bond - probation’ contains breaches of supervised bonds and as such is entitled ‘Breach of bond - supervised’. The ASOC group ‘Breach of bond - other’ contains breaches of unsupervised bonds so is called ‘Breach of bond - unsupervised’. All other tables show offences classified at ASOC division and subdivision levels.


139

EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURT continued Prior to 2009, published data used the 1997 version of ASOC. Offence type data in this publication should not be directly compared with data published in previous years. The Bureau can, however, provide comparable data back to 1994. TABLES 2.2 AND 2.3: OUTCOME OF APPEARANCE Table 2.2 presents major outcomes of the court process for individual persons charged. Table 2.3 presents this information for those persons identifying as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin at this or any previous court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. The possible outcome types are as follows: Proceeded to defended hearing All charges dismissed: Appearances in this category involved the defendant being found not guilty of any offence, following a defended hearing. Such appearances may have included some charges being dismissed without hearing. Guilty of at least one charge: In this category the defendant pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty by the court of at least one of the offences charged. Other: Appearances in this category include persons for whom one or more charges were dismissed after a defended hearing, but who either (i) pleaded guilty to other charges or (ii) were convicted ex parte of other charges. Proven outcome not further described Appearances in this category are those where no plea was recorded and so it is not possible to determine whether the matter proceeded to a defended hearing or the defendant was sentenced after entering a guilty plea. Sentenced after guilty plea Appearances in this category include matters where the defendant pleaded guilty to at least one charge, and any other charges were dismissed or otherwise disposed of. Convicted ex parte Includes charges where the defendant either (i) lodged a written guilty plea and was convicted and sentenced in his/her absence, or (ii) failed to appear, was convicted and sentenced by the court on the evidence presented. This outcome does not include where a conviction warrant was issued by the court for the offender to be brought before the court for sentencing. All charges dismissed without hearing This category includes matters where all charges were dismissed by the court, but there was no defended hearing. For instance, the prosecution may not have offered any evidence in respect to the case or the defendant may have died prior to finalisation. All charges otherwise disposed of This category includes matters where the charges were adjourned generally (previously known as ‘stood out of list’) and those adjourned to the Youth Drug and Alcohol Court.


140

EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURT continued TABLE 2.4: BAIL STATUS Bail status refers to the bail status of the defendant at their final court appearance. Those remanded in custody are separated into ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’. Corrective Services NSW and NSW Juvenile Justice custody data have been merged with court data to identify these persons who were ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’. Those not in either of these groups were ‘on bail’, ‘bail not required or bail dispensed with’ or ‘unknown’.

TABLE 2.5 and 2.6: PENALTIES FOR PRINCIPAL OFFENCE Table 2.5 presents the penalties imposed for the principal offence. Table 2.6 reports on persons who had identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin at any court appearance since 1994.

Persons found guilty Persons found guilty are those persons who, for at least one offence charged, either pleaded guilty, were found guilty ex parte, or were found guilty after a defended hearing. Principal offence The principal offence is defined as the offence charged which received the most serious penalty according to the following rules: a) Where an offender is found guilty of more than one offence, the offence which received the most

serious penalty is the principal offence. The hierarchy of Children's Court penalties are: (i) Control order - a fixed term or non-parole period of juvenile detention in a Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) facility (ii) Community Service Order (iii) Probation Order - probation orders with DJJ supervision, probation orders with other supervision and probation without supervision (iv) Fine (v) Bond - includes bond, suspended control order and conditional discharge, with supervision and without supervision (vi) Dismissed with caution (vii) Other proven outcomes - includes periodic detention, referral to Youth Drug and Alcohol Court, disqualified driver, compensation, committed to the rising of the court and dismissed after Youth Justice Conference.

(b) Where there are two or more offences which received the same penalty type, the offence which received the greatest quantum of that penalty type is the principal offence. Note that for this calculation if multiple counts of the same offence type received different penalties they are treated as separate offences. (c) If there was more than one offence with a custodial penalty, the offence with the longest total sentence is selected as the principal offence. (d) If there was more than one offence with a custodial penalty with the same quantum of total sentence, the offence with the longest non-parole period is selected as the principal offence.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURT continued (e) If there was more than one offence which received the same quantum of the same penalty type, including the same quantum of total sentence and non-parole period, the offence with the highest Median Sentence Ranking (see the Bureau’s Crime and Justice Bulletin No.142 ‘Measuring Offence Seriousness’) is selected as the principal offence. (f) Where an offence received more than one penalty, a principal penalty for that offence is first calculated following the rules set out above. The determination of principal offence is then calculated on the principal penalty for each offence. TABLES 2.7, 2.7a AND 2.7b: TYPE OF PRINCIPAL OFFENCE, GENDER, AGE These tables detail the age and gender of all persons found guilty in the Children’s Courts. The age category ‘18 years and over’ in these tables refers to those alleged offenders who were under 18 years at the time of the alleged offence, but were 18 years or over at the time of finalisation of the matter. TABLES 2.8: COURT DELAY

Table 2.8 shows the time taken to dispose of a group of charges against a person by defended and undefended hearings by bail status at final appearance. It shows the median number of days taken at each stage of proceedings. The median duration is used in preference to the average duration because there may be a small number of finalised appearances with very long durations. The definition of median is that half of the records had durations less than the median value and the other half had longer durations. Note that medians can not be added. Where a person’s bail status changed in the course of the proceedings the duration may have been affected.

TABLE 2.9: PRIOR PROVEN OFFENCES Table 2.9 provides information on the 10-year history of prior proven offences for those persons found guilty in the Children’s Courts. This information is sourced from the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research’s Reoffending Database (ROD). The Reoffending Database is used to derive an offending history for individuals by searching and matching court records over the previous 10 years. Court records from the Children’s, Local, District and Supreme Courts are considered. Due to the application of matching techniques and slightly different composition rules, the total number of persons within each offence type is slightly different to those provided in other tables in this section. The following prior offending categories are used in the table: No prior proven offences At the time of sentencing, persons in this category had no prior proven offences of any kind in the past 10 years. Prior proven offences, not of the same type Persons in this category had a history of prior proven offences but none were of the same general type as the principal offence receiving sentence on this occasion. This category can include offences which resulted in a term of imprisonment as well as non-custodial penalties.


142

EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURT continued Prior proven offences of the same type, without imprisonment Persons in this category were found guilty of an offence of the same general type as the principal offence on a previous occasion, but not sentenced to a period of imprisonment for that offence. Prior proven offences of the same type, with imprisonment Persons in this category were found guilty of an offence of the same general type as the principal offence on a previous occasion, and in addition, had received a custodial penalty on at least one occasion, for an offence of this type.


143

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS From February 2008, Higher Courts data have been sourced from JusticeLink. Prior to 2008 Higher Courts data was sourced from the Case Tracking System and Bureau staff manually recorded details directly from the final indictment. Court staff and Judge's Associates are now responsible for entering results, with the Bureau taking on a validation and audit role. The new system resulted in the counting unit changing from the number of 'finalised cases' to the number of 'persons in finalised cases'. Prior to 2008, one finalised case could include one or more accused persons. Each person record now includes all charges that the person had finalised on the same date (regardless of whether or not they were registered on the same date). A person with charges finalised on two dates is reported as two persons. For this reason caution should be used when making comparisons with Higher Court data published in earlier years. TABLES 3.1 AND 3.2 PERSONS APPEARING IN HIGHER CRIMINAL COURTS Jurisdiction There are two jurisdictions in the NSW Higher Courts: the Supreme Court, which hears cases in Sydney and on circuit in country centres, and the District Court, which has a number of metropolitan and country sites. The Supreme Courts deal only with the most serious criminal matters. The District Courts deal with all other matters on indictment and appeals against conviction or sentence arising from Local Court cases. In all tables where Jurisdiction is shown this reflects the Jurisdiction at which the case was registered and not where it was finalised. Registry Registries handle the administrative work involved in preparing a case for trial. The District Court is regionalised into a number of registries. In all tables where Registry is shown this reflects the Registry at which the case was registered and not where it was finalised. Appendix 3 lists the various courts which fall within each Registry’s administrative area. Persons registered in trial and sentence cases A case is made up of a number of charges for a single accused that were registered together. Table 3.1 shows the number of persons in trial and sentence cases registered in the Higher Courts. Persons charged in finalised trial and sentence appearances In both the District and Supreme Courts, a person charged refers to a group of one or more charges, against a single accused person, which are finalised by the court on the same date. The number of persons in finalised trial and sentence appearances is shown in Table 3.2 and in subsequent tables. This report does not distinguish ‘distinct’ persons within the counting period. If an accused person is in more than one case finalised on different dates during the counting period, such a person will be counted more than once in the report. However, separate charges finalised on the same date for the one accused person are consolidated and counted as one person. Where there are outstanding charges against the accused, this would be counted as a new person in a subsequent counting period. For these reasons there is no direct relationship between the persons registered in trial and sentence cases, shown in Table 3.1, and the number of persons with cases finalised, shown in Table 3.2.


144

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued

Committal Cases normally appear before the Higher Courts following a committal hearing in the Local or Children’s Courts. A committal hearing involves a preliminary hearing by a Magistrate of the evidence against the accused. If the accused pleads guilty at the committal hearing, he or she may be committed for sentencing to a Higher Court. Alternatively, if the accused pleads not guilty, or reserves his or her defence, he or she is committed for trial. Cases which do not proceed beyond committal are not included in this report. TABLES 3.3, 3.4 AND 3.5: PERSONS CHARGED AND CHARGES IN TRIAL AND SENTENCE APPEARANCES Persons charged Data in JusticeLink are case-based, with each case containing one or more charges against a single individual. When different charges within the same case are finalised on either the same or different dates, these are counted as one finalised court appearance and therefore reported as one person. An individual may also be involved in multiple JusticeLink cases. Only when these cases are finalised on the same date are they reported as one person. Note however, persons are counted only once in the overall total. Year of committal Year of committal shows the length of time cases normally require to be processed in the Higher Courts. More detailed information on this subject is provided in Tables 3.13a to 3.13i. Type of offence Offence groups in the Higher Courts tables are based on the Australian Standard Offence Classification (ASOC) issued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS 2008, Cat. No.1234.0). ASOC does not include the type of drug in the offence classification. Drug type is therefore derived from the court records. The ‘Other’ drug category includes offences where more than one drug is involved and offences involving drugs which do not belong to any of the specified drug type categories. Table 3.4 shows offences classified at ASOC division, subdivision and group levels. In this report, the ASOC group ‘Breach of bond - probation’ contains breaches of supervised bonds and as such is entitled ‘Breach of bond - supervised’. The ASOC group ‘Breach of bond - other’ contains breaches of unsupervised bonds so is called ‘Breach of bond - unsupervised’. All other tables show offences classified at ASOC division and subdivision levels. Prior to 2009, published data used the 1997 version of ASOC. Offence type data in this publication should not be directly compared with data published in previous years. Comparable data back to 1994 is available on request. Sexual offences against children In Table 3.4 and elsewhere in this section, the number of charges and persons charged for offences classified as sexual offences against children are shown separately from other offences in the sexual assault and related offences division. The subdivision sexual offences against children is not part of the ASOC classification. The offences in this category also appear in the appropriate ASOC subdivisions and as such are included in the total.


145

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued Some charges which have been laid under Section 61I (sexual assault) and Section 61L (indecent assault) of the Crimes Act 1900, may have involved child victims. Such offences are counted in the sexual assault subdivision in this report, and so the frequency within the sexual offences against children classification is subject to undercounting. Number of offences charged Tables 3.4 and 3.5 indicate the number of distinct offences charged against each accused person. Prior to 2008, where there were multiple counts of the same offence (i.e. charged under the same Act and Section) and each count had the same outcome, the multiple counts were counted as a single charge. From 2008, each individual count has been treated as a separate charge.

TABLE 3.6 AND 3.7: OUTCOME OF CHARGE Table 3.6 presents major outcomes of the court process for each accused person. Table 3.7 presents this information for those persons who had identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin at any court appearance since 1994. Those cases which involved a trial before a Judge and jury (or a Judge alone trial) are separated from those where the accused pleaded guilty to all charges, where the charges were not proceeded with, or where the charges were otherwise disposed of. Possible outcome types are as follows: Proceeded to trial Acquitted of all charges: Persons in this category were found not guilty of any offence following a trial. This may include some charges not being proceeded with or being otherwise disposed of. Found guilty of at least one charge: Persons in this category were found guilty of at least one of the offences charged. Other: Persons in the ‘Other’ category are those who were acquitted of one or more charges following a trial but pleaded guilty to at least one other charge. Proceeded to sentence only Persons in this category pleaded guilty to at least one charge. Other offences may have been disposed of other than by trial or not proceeded with. Proven outcome not further described Persons who received a sentence but where there was insufficient data to determine whether their case had proceeded to trial or to sentence only. No charges proceeded with Persons in this category were not proceeded against by the Director of Public Prosecutions to trial. All charges otherwise disposed of Included in this category are accused persons who died or were referred to the Drug Court. TABLES 3.8, 3.9 AND 3:10: PENALTIES IMPOSED FOR PRINCIPAL OFFENCE Table 3.8 presents the penalties imposed for the principal offence. Table 3.9 presents this information for those persons who had identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database.


146

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued Persons found guilty Persons found guilty are those persons who, for at least one offence charged, either pleaded guilty or were found guilty by trial. Principal offence Appendix 1 provides explanations of the penalty types used in the Higher Courts. Penalties shown in the tables indicate the principal penalty imposed for the principal offence. The principal offence is defined to be that offence charged which received the most serious penalty according to the following rules: (a) Where an offender was found guilty of more than one offence, the offence which received the

most serious penalty type is the principal offence. Appendix 2 lists the hierarchy of penalty type seriousness used for this calculation.

(b) Where there were two or more offences which received the same penalty type, that offence which received the greatest quantum of that penalty type is the principal offence. Note that for this calculation if multiple counts of the same offence type received different penalties they are treated as separate offences.

(c) If there was more than one offence with a custodial penalty, the offence with the longest total sentence is selected as the principal offence.

(d) If there was more than one offence with a custodial penalty with the same quantum of total sentence, the offence with the longest non-parole period is selected as the principal offence.

(e) If there was more than one offence which received the same quantum of the same penalty type, including the same quantum of total sentence and non-parole period, the offence with the highest Median Sentence Ranking (see the Bureau’s Crime and Justice Bulletin No.142 ‘Measuring Offence Seriousness’) is selected as the principal offence.

(f) Where an offence received more than one penalty, a principal penalty for that offence is first calculated following the rules set out above. The determination of principal offence is then calculated on the principal penalty for each offence.

Quantum of penalty Table 3.10 shows the average duration of principal penalties which involve a time component and the average dollar amount of fines imposed, where a fine was the principal penalty. Duration of imprisonment Average duration of imprisonment in Table 3.10 is the mean length of time in months of the non-parole period or where no non-parole period is specified, the total term imposed on the principal offence. As imprisonment is the most serious penalty which can be imposed, Table 3.8 includes all charges where an imprisonment penalty was imposed. Excluded from Table 3.10 are sentences of cumulative imprisonment. In those cases where a cumulative term was imposed, only the non-parole duration for the principal offence is shown. The calculation of the average duration of imprisonment shown in Table 3.10 does not include sentences of life imprisonment. TABLES 3.11, 3.11a AND 3.11b: TYPE OF PRINCIPAL OFFENCE, GENDER, AGE From 2008, Table 3.11 has shown age at the date of the offence. Prior reports showed age at the date of arrest.


147

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued TABLE 3.12: BAIL STATUS Bail status refers to the bail status of the defendant at their final court appearance. Those remanded in custody are separated into ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’. Corrective Services NSW and NSW Juvenile Justice custody data have been merged with court data to identify these persons who were ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’. Those not in either of these groups were ‘on bail’, ‘bail not required or bail dispensed with’ or ‘unknown’. TABLE 3.13a TO 3.13i: COURT DELAY These tables give an indication of the time taken to dispose of a case for trial and sentence matters by bail status at final appearance. They show the median number of days taken at each stage of proceedings. The median duration is used in preference to the average duration because there may be a small number of persons with very long duration times. The definition of median is such that half the persons had duration times less than the median duration time and the other half of the persons had longer duration times. The category ‘proceeded to sentence only’ includes, in addition to guilty pleas, persons whose plea was changed from not guilty to guilty in the course of the trial. Some of these matters could, therefore, be expected to take longer to dispose of than matters originally committed for sentence. The outcome categories are used to distinguish persons who were finalised by trial. The stages of proceedings are categorised as follows: Offence to committal From 2008, the time from the date of the earliest offence to the date committed has been reported. Prior to 2008, the duration between the arrest date to committal date was reported. Committal to outcome The time from date committed to latest date of determination of charges. Note that it is not possible to distinguish from this table whether the accused altered his or her plea during the course of proceedings. Such a change of plea would be expected to alter the time taken to dispose of the case. Outcome to sentence The time from latest date of determination of charges (guilty plea or verdict) to date of sentence. This category is applicable only to those accused persons who were found guilty. TABLE 3.14 PRIOR PROVEN OFFENCES Table 3.14 provides information on the 10-year history of prior proven offences for those persons found guilty in the Higher Courts. This information is sourced from the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research’s Reoffending Database. The Reoffending Database derives an offending history for individuals by matching court records over the previous 10 years. Court records from the Children’s, Local, District and Supreme Courts are considered. Due to the matching technique and slightly different composition rules (i.e. companies exlcuded) the total number of persons within each offence type differs to those in other tables in this section. The following prior offending categories are used in the table:


148

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued No prior proven offences At the time of sentencing, persons in this category had no prior proven offences of any kind in the past 10 years. Prior proven offences, not of the same type Persons in this category had a history of prior proven offences but none were of the same general type as the principal offence receiving sentence on this occasion. This category can include offences which resulted in a term of imprisonment as well as non-custodial penalties. Prior proven offences of the same type, without imprisonment Persons in this category were found guilty of an offence of the same general type as the principal offence on a previous occasion, but not sentenced to a period of imprisonment for that offence. Prior proven offences of the same type, with imprisonment Persons in this category were found guilty of an offence of the same general type as the principal offence on a previous occasion, and in addition, had received a custodial penalty on at least one occasion, for an offence of this type. TABLE 3.15: OUTCOME OF APPEAL, TYPE OF APPEAL

Table 3.15 presents the outcomes for appeals to the District Court against conviction, severity or adequacy of sentences imposed in the Local Courts and against AVOs granted by the Local Courts. Appeals by or against companies as well as persons are included. The appeal outcome categories are as follows: Appeal upheld for all matters This category indicates that: 1) the conviction or AVO was overturned for all matters appealed against; or 2) the penalty was varied (for a severity or inadequacy appeal) for all charges/orders appealed

against. Appeal dismissed/withdrawn for all matters This indicates that the court dismissed the appeal for all the charges/orders appealed against or that the appellant withdrew the appeal. Appeal upheld for some matters This indicates that the court dismissed the appeal on some charges/orders but upheld the appeal for at least one charge. Other This indicates that the appeal was dismissed due to non-appearance of the appellant, the appellant's death, or the matters were referred to the Drug court to be finalised with other offences.

Appendices

APPENDIX 1 NOTES ON PENALTIES

Home detention Home detention orders are an alternative means of serving sentences of full-time imprisonment of up to 18 months. The conditions of the Order constrain the offender‘s liberty to an extent that approximates confinement in minimum security custody with access to day release programs. Periodic detention The offender is held in custody in prison periodically (at weekends for example) for a specified period. From 1 October 2010 this penalty was replaced with Intensive Correction Orders. Intensive Correction Order Intensive Correction Orders replaced Periodic Detention on 1 October 2010. Intensive Correction Orders are served in the community for a period of up to two years. Under Clause 175 of the Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Regulation 2008 the offender is subject to intensive supervision, which may include random home visits, searches, drug testing, electronic monitoring and curfews. In addition offenders issued with Intensive Correction Orders are required to do a minimum of 32 hours community service work per month and to ‘engage in activities to address the factors associated with his or her offending’.

Suspended sentence Under Section 12 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedures) Act 1999, a court may impose a sentence of imprisonment of up to two years duration and then suspend the sentence on the condition that the offender enters into a good behaviour bond. Community Service Order The offender is ordered to perform a specified number of hours of unpaid community service work. Bond (or Commonwealth recognizance) There are several different types of bonds, which may be imposed by a court. Generally speaking they all require the offender to be ‘of good behaviour’ for a certain length of time and may impose other conditions as well. Common conditions include that the offender: (a) report to the Probation and Parole Service on a regular basis (bond with supervision); (b) attend alcohol counselling; (c) reside in a certain area. Bond without conviction and No conviction recorded Under Section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedures) Act 1999, a court may, where it finds a charge proved, elect not to proceed to a conviction, but to either discharge the offender with no penalty, with some nominal penalty, with a good behaviour bond, or with an agreement to participate and comply with an intervention program. Nominal sentence This is a nominal penalty where the offender is held in custody until the court adjourns (also referred to as 'Rising of the Court'). Conviction without penalty Under Section 10A of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999, the court may, where it finds a charge proved, record a conviction and dispose of the proceedings without imposing any other penalty.
