INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents summary statistics for all states and territories, except Western Australia, about alleged offenders aged 10 years and over who were proceeded against by police during the period 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008. The statistics provide a profile of the principal offence for which an offender was proceeded against by police, as well as the characteristics of the offender (age and sex). Indigenous data are only presented for New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory. Information is also provided about the number of police initiated court proceedings.

Certain offences are excluded from the Recorded Crime - Offenders collection. For further information about the scope and counting methodology of the collection refer to paragraphs 3-7 and 9-17 of the Explanatory Notes.
