INTRODUCTION This report deals with criminal cases finalised in 2014 in the New South Wales (NSW) Local, Children’s, District and Supreme Courts.
While criminal disposals have increased in the Local and Higher Courts, they have fallen in the Children’s Court.
In the Local Court, the number of defendants with a finalised matter increased by 4.4 per cent (up from 109,155 in 2013 to 113,917 in 2014). There was a 4.2 per cent increase in persons finalised in trial and sentence matters in the Higher Court (up from 3,618 in 2013 to 3,770 in 2014).
In contrast, there was a 8.5 per cent decrease in young persons finalised in the Children’s Court (down from 7,401 in 2013 to 6,769 in 2014). This is in line with an 11.3 per cent decrease in the number of young persons proceeded against to court by NSW Police in the 24 months to 30 September 2014.

NSW CRIMINAL COURTS STATISTICS 2014 – HIGHER COURTS

EXPLANATORY NOTES This report deals with criminal matters finalised by the New South Wales (NSW) Local, Children’s, District and Supreme Courts. Minor criminal matters, such as regulatory driving offences issued through infringement notices and appeals to same are not included in the report
Data presented in this report was sourced from the JusticeLink system 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).
Offence data in this report is based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian and New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC), 2011 (Third edition) (cat. no. 1234.0). 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 unless noted otherwise.
NSW CRIMINAL COURTS STATISTICS 2014 – EXPLANATORY NOTES

EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS
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. Since the implementation of JusticeLink, where a person is charged with multiple counts of the same offence (i.e. charged under the same Act and Section), each individual count is 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 1.1: PERSONS CHARGED AND CHARGES
Persons charged The counting rules applied to Table 1.1 are different from those applied in other tables in this section. Where persons are charged with more than one offence and those offences fall within different offence groups, they are counted once in each of the relevant offence division totals. However, persons are counted only once per court finalisation in the grand total. Accordingly, the sum of the offence division totals for persons charged does not equal the grand total of persons charged.
For example, if a person had a finalised assault charge and a finalised drug charge, they appear in the assault division total and also in the drug offence division total but only once in the grand total. Conversely, if a person had two assault charges finalised in June and then a second set of assault charges finalised in September, they appear twice in the assault division subtotal and twice in the grand total. Type of offence Offence groups in the Local Courts tables are based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian and New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC), 2011 (Third edition) (cat. no. 1234.0). Table 1.1 shows offences classified at ANZSOC division, subdivision and group levels. In this report, the ANZSOC group ‘Breach of bond - probation’ contains breaches of supervised bonds and as such is entitled ‘Breach of bond - supervised’. The ANZSOC group ‘Breach of bond - other’ contains breaches of unsupervised bonds so is called ‘Breach of bond - unsupervised’. All other tables show offences classified at ANZSOC 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 ANZSOC classification. The offences in this category are also included in the appropriate ANZSOC 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.

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 charge is counted separately. Dismissed charges are separated from those which were 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. Charge outcomes Some of the major charge outcomes are: 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 of the Act, 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 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. The outcome types are: Proceeded to defended hearing Defended hearings include where a ‘not guilty plea’ is entered or ‘no plea’ is recorded and the defendant was present when the matter was finalised.
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.
NSW CRIMINAL COURTS STATISTICS 2014 – EXPLANATORY NOTES
144
EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS continued
Proven outcome not further described Appearances in this category include persons who received a sentence but there was insufficient data to indicate whether they had proceeded to a defended hearing or were sentenced after entering a guilty plea. Sentenced after guilty plea This category includes appearances 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 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 charges or the defendant may have died prior to finalisation. All charges otherwise disposed of This category includes where charges have been adjourned to the Drug Court or were adjourned generally (previously known as ‘stood out of list’). TABLES 1.5 AND 1.6: LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND BAIL STATUS
Tables 1.5 and 1.6 present the outcome for each finalised appearance by legal representation and the bail status of the defendant respectively.
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 Juvenile Justice NSW 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 1.11: PENALTIES FOR PRINCIPAL OFFENCE
Tables 1.7 to 1.11 present the penalties imposed for the principal offence in finalised Local Court appearances. Table 1.8 reports on drug offences only. ANZSOC does not include the type of drug in the offence classification. The drug type is therefore derived from 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 1.9 and 1.11 report on persons who identified as being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database.
Persons found guilty Persons found guilty are those who, for at least one offence charged, either pleaded guilty, were found guilty ex parte, or were found guilty after a defended hearing.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS continued
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 1.10 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. Table 1.11 presents this information for persons who identified as being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. Imprisonment When sentencing an offender to imprisonment, the court sets a non-parole period and total term. The non-parole period must not be less than three quarters of the total 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 imprisonment sentences of six months or less, the court may not set a non-parole period.
The average durations shown in Tables 1.10 and 1.11 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. 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.
Aggregate Sentences of Imprisonment From 14 March 2011, section 53A of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 has allowed the court to set an aggregate sentence of imprisonment in respect to two or more offences. The court must note the sentence that would have been imposed for each offence had separate sentences been imposed. This is referred to as the indicative sentence and should include a non-parole period for any standard non-parole period offences.
NSW CRIMINAL COURTS STATISTICS 2014 – EXPLANATORY NOTES
146
EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS continued
The court may impose an aggregate sentence for some offences and separate imprisonment sentences for other offences.
Where an aggregate sentence of imprisonment is imposed, the indicative sentences are used to determine the principal offence. Only the non-parole period duration for the principal offence is shown. When no indicative non-parole period has been specified, the ratio of the aggregate non-parole period to the aggregate total term is applied to the indicative total term (only when more than six months duration) to arrive at a non-parole period.
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. Children’s penalties The Local Court may impose a penalty under the Children (Criminal Proceedings) Act 1987. Where this has occurred, these records are grouped with their adult penalty equivalent in Tables 1.7 to 1.11. TABLES 1.12, 1.12a AND 1.12b: TYPE OF PRINCIPAL OFFENCE, AGE, GENDER These tables detail the principal offence, age and gender of all persons found guilty in the Local Court. Age is calculated as at the date of finalisation.
TABLE 1.13: 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 matters 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 cannot be added. Where a person’s bail status changed in the course of the proceedings the duration may have been affected.
TABLE 1.14: PRIOR PROVEN OFFENCES Table 1.14 provides information on prior proven offences for persons found guilty in the Local Courts. The Bureau’s Reoffending Database (ROD) is used to derive an offending history for individuals by searching and matching court records over the previous 10 years. Court records from the NSW 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. If a person has multiple prior proven offences they are included in one category only and in the following order of priority: Prior proven offences of the same type, with a custodial penalty 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 (i.e. imprisonment or a control order) on at least one occasion, for an offence of this type. Prior proven offences of the same type, without a custodial penalty 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 imprisonment or a control order for that offence.
NSW CRIMINAL COURTS STATISTICS 2014 – EXPLANATORY NOTES
147
EXPLANATORY NOTES - LOCAL COURTS continued
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 custodial penalty (i.e. imprisonment or a control order) as well as non-custodial penalties. 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. TABLES 1.15: APPREHENDED VIOLENCE ORDERS (AVOs) Table 1.15 counts only those orders finalised by a magistrate at a Local Court hearing. It does not include interim orders granted. Note that one AVO may protect more than one person. Data on AVOs granted is based on the residential Statistical Area of the person against whom the AVO is granted (Person of Interest or POI), rather than the residential Statistical Area of the protected person. The reason for this is due to the large proportion of protected persons having no address details listed on the AVO as a result of the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 providing that protected persons' residential addresses not be included in AVO applications unless in certain circumstances.
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 1.16 AND 1.17: STATISTICAL AREA OF RESIDENCE These tables indicate the defendant’s residential Statistical Area. 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 1.16 shows the number and rate per 100,000 population of Local Court appearances by defendant's residential Statistical Area. Table 1.17 presents, for those defendants found guilty, rates per 100,000 population by the defendant's residential Statistical Area and principal offence.

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 Court, 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 ANZSOC 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 Court 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. 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. Since the implementation of JusticeLink, where a person is charged with multiple counts of the same offence (i.e. charged under the same Act and Section), each individual count is 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: PERSONS CHARGED AND CHARGES
Persons charged The counting rules applied to Table 2.1 are different from those applied in other tables in this section. Where persons are charged with more than one offence and those offences fall within different offence groups, they are counted once in each of the relevant offence division totals. However, persons are counted only once per court finalisation in the grand total. Accordingly, the sum of the offence division totals for persons charged does not equal the grand total of persons charged.
For example, if a person had a finalised assault charge and a finalised drug charge, they appear in the assault division total and also in the drug offence division total but only once in the grand total. Conversely, if a person had two assault charges finalised in June and then a second set of assault charges finalised in September, they appear twice in the assault division subtotal and twice in the grand total.
Type of offence Offence groups in the Children’s Courts tables are based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian and New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC), 2011 (Third edition) (cat. no. 1234.0). Table 2.1 shows offences classified at ANZSOC division, subdivision and group levels. In this report, the ANZSOC group ‘Breach of bond - probation’ contains breaches of supervised bonds and as such is entitled ‘Breach of bond - supervised’. The ANZSOC group ‘Breach of bond - other’ contains breaches of unsupervised bonds so is called ‘Breach of bond - unsupervised’. All other tables show offences classified at ANZSOC division and subdivision levels.
Sexual offences against children In Table 2.1 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

EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURTS continued
the ANZSOC classification. The offences in this category are also included in the appropriate ANZSOC 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. TABLE 2.2: OUTCOME OF CHARGE
Charge Table 2.2 shows the court outcomes for all charges. Where a person was charged with more than one offence, each charge is counted separately. Dismissed charges are separated from those which were 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. Charge outcomes Some of the major charge outcomes are: 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 of the Act, 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. TABLES 2.3 AND 2.4: OUTCOME OF APPEARANCE Table 2.3 presents court outcomes for persons charged. Table 2.4presents this information for those persons identifying as being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. The outcome types are: Proceeded to defended hearing Defended hearings include where a ‘not guilty plea’ is entered or ‘no plea’ is recorded and the defendant was present when the matter was finalised.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURTS continued
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 include persons who received a sentence but there was insufficient data to indicate whether they had proceeded to a defended hearing or were sentenced after entering a guilty plea. Sentenced after guilty plea This category includes appearances 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 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 2.5 AND 2.6: LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND BAIL STATUS Tables 2.5 and 2.6 present the outcome for each finalised appearance by legal representation and the bail status of the defendant respectively.
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 Juvenile Justice NSW 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 2.7 TO 2.10: PENALTIES FOR PRINCIPAL OFFENCE Tables 2.7 to 2.10 present the penalties imposed for the principal offence in finalised Children’s Court appearances. Tables 2.8 and 2.10 report on persons who identified as being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database.

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 type is the principal offence. The hierarchy of Children's Court penalties are: (i) Control order - a fixed term or non-parole period of detention in a Juvenile Justice NSW facility (ii) Community Service Order (iii) Probation Order - probation orders with Juvenile Justice NSW 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 dismissed after Youth Justice Conference, no action taken on a breach of court orders, nominal sentence (rising of the court), conviction with no other penalty, disqualified driver and compensation.
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.
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 2.9 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 2.10 presents this information for persons who identified as being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. Control orders When sentencing an offender to a control order, the court sets a non-parole period and total term. The non-parole period must not be less than three quarters of the total 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 control orders of six months or less, the court may not set a non-parole period.
NSW CRIMINAL COURTS STATISTICS 2014 – EXPLANATORY NOTES
152
EXPLANATORY NOTES - CHILDREN’S COURTS continued
The average durations shown in Tables 2.9 and 2.10 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 are excluded from these tables. Where a cumulative term was imposed, only the non-parole period duration for the principal offence is shown. Note that a control order of a maximum of two years can be imposed in the Children’s Courts for any one offence but the Children’s Court may impose a cumulative term of up to three years.
Aggregate Control Orders From 14 March 2011, section 53A of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 has allowed the court to set an aggregate sentence of imprisonment in respect to two or more offences. This also applies to control orders.
The court must note the sentence that would have been imposed for each offence had separate sentences been imposed. This is referred to as the indicative sentence and should include a non-parole period for any standard non-parole period offences. The court may impose an aggregate sentence for some offences and separate control orders for other offences.
Where an aggregate control order is imposed, the indicative sentences are used to determine the principal offence. Only the non-parole period duration for the principal offence is shown. When no indicative non-parole period has been specified, the ratio of the aggregate non-parole period to the aggregate total term is applied to the indicative total term (only when more than six months duration) to arrive at a non-parole period.
Community Service Order (CSO) The Children (Community Service Orders) Act 1987 allows for a maximum of 100 hours community service for an offence committed by a person under 16 years of age and a maximum of 250 hours for an offence committed by a person aged 16 years or older. TABLES 2.11, 2.11a AND 2.11b: MOST SERIOUS OFFENCE, AGE, GENDER These tables detail the most serious offence, age and gender of all persons having finalised appearances in the Children’s Courts (irrespective of whether the offence was proven).These tables are not equivalent to those detailing age and gender of offenders in the Local and Higher Courts, which show the principal offence rather than the most serious offence. For Tables 2.11, 2.11a and 2.11b age is calculated as at the date of finalisation. 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 2.12: COURT DELAY
Table 2.12 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 matters 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 cannot be added. Where a person’s bail status changed in the course of the proceedings the duration may have been affected.

TABLE 2.13: PRIOR PROVEN OFFENCES Table 2.13 provides information on prior proven offences for persons found guilty in the Children’s Courts. The Bureau’s 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 NSW 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. If a person has multiple prior proven offences they are included in one category only and in the following order of priority: Prior proven offences of the same type, with a custodial penalty 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 (i.e. imprisonment or control order) on at least one occasion, for an offence of this type. Prior proven offences of the same type, without a custodial penalty 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 imprisonment or a control order for that offence. 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 custodial penalty (i.e. imprisonment or a control order) as well as non-custodial penalties. 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.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS TABLES 3.1 AND 3.2: PERSONS APPEARING IN HIGHER CRIMINAL COURTS Jurisdiction There are two major 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 sits at a number of metropolitan and country court houses. The Supreme Courts deal 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. From late 2012, the District Court has had summary jurisdiction which hears workplace health and safety prosecutions previously dealt with by the Industrial Relations Commission. These summary prosecutions are counted as trial appearances in this publication. 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. Gosford District Court is now reported as a separate registry. Previously Gosford District Court cases were counted in Newcastle registry. This change is to align with the District Court which has reported on Gosford as a separate registry since 2006. Comparable data from 2006 to 2014 is available on request. 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. Section 3 of this report does not distinguish ‘distinct’ persons. If an accused person is in more than one case finalised on different dates during the counting period, they will be counted more than once. However, separate charges finalised on the same date for 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. 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, they may be committed for sentencing to a Higher Court. Alternatively, if the accused pleads not guilty, or reserves their defence, he or she is committed for trial. Cases which commence by ex officio indictment are included. Cases which do not proceed beyond committal are not included.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued TABLES 3.3, 3.4 AND 3.5: PERSONS CHARGED AND CHARGES, COMMITTAL TYPE, OFFENCE TYPE AND NUMBER Year of committal Table 3.3 shows the length of time cases require to be processed in the Higher Courts. More detailed information for each Registry is provided in Tables 3.14a to 3.14j. 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. The counting rules applied to Table 3.4 are different from those applied in other tables in this section. Where persons are charged with more than one offence and those offences fall within different offence groups, they are counted once in each of the relevant offence division totals. However, persons are counted only once per court finalisation in the grand total. Accordingly, the sum of the offence division totals for persons charged does not equal the grand total of persons charged. For example, if a person had a finalised assault charge and a finalised drug charge, they appear in the assault division total and also in the drug offence division total but only once in the grand total. Conversely, if a person had two assault charges finalised in June and then a second set of assault charges finalised in September, they appear twice in the assault division subtotal and twice in the grand total. Type of offence Offence groups in the Higher Courts tables are based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian and New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC), 2011 (Third edition) (cat. no. 1234.0). Table 3.4 shows offences classified at ANZSOC division, subdivision and group levels. In this report, the ANZSOC group ‘Breach of bond - probation’ contains breaches of supervised bonds and as such is entitled ‘Breach of bond - supervised’. The ANZSOC group ‘Breach of bond - other’ contains breaches of unsupervised bonds so is called ‘Breach of bond - unsupervised’. All other tables show offences classified at ANZSOC division and subdivision levels. 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 ANZSOC classification. The offences in this category are also included in the appropriate ANZSOC 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. Number of offences charged Table 3.5 indicates the number of offences and persons charged in finalised trial and sentence appearances.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued TABLE 3.6 AND 3.7: OUTCOME OF APPEARANCE Table 3.6 presents court outcomes for persons charged in District and Supreme Courts. Table 3.7 presents this information for persons who identified as being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. Cases involving a trial before a Judge and jury (or a Judge alone) are separated from those where the accused pleaded guilty to all charges, where no charges were proceeded with, or where charges were otherwise disposed of. The outcome types are: 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. Not guilty by reason of mental illness/health: In published reports prior to 2012, these were recorded in the ‘Acquitted of all charges’ category. This data is available from 2008 on request. 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 Trial committal: Persons committed for trial who entered a guilty plea after committal, either before or during the trial. Persons who entered a guilty plea and were also found guilty/ acquitted of other charges at trial are excluded. Sentence committal: Persons committed for sentence after entering a guilty plea in the lower court. 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 TO 3.11: PENALTIES IMPOSED FOR PRINCIPAL OFFENCE Tables 3.8 and 3.11 present the penalties imposed for the principal offence. Table 3.9 reports on drug offences only. ANZSOC does not include the type of drug in the offence classification. Drug type is therefore derived from 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 3.10 presents the penalties imposed for the principal offence for those persons who had identified as being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander at any court appearance since 1994. Indigenous status is sourced from the Bureau's Reoffending Database. 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.

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

(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 3.11 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. Imprisonment When sentencing an offender to imprisonment, the court sets a total term and may impose 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 imprisonment sentences of six months or less, the court may not set a non-parole period. The average durations shown in Table 3.11 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. 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 3.11 does not include sentences of life imprisonment. Aggregate Sentences of Imprisonment From 14 March 2011, section 53A of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 has allowed the court to set an aggregate sentence of imprisonment in respect to two or more offences. The court must note the sentence that would have been imposed for each offence had separate sentences been imposed. This is referred to as the indicative sentence and should include a non-parole period for any standard non-parole period offences.

TABLES 3.12, 3.12a AND 3.12b: TYPE OF PRINCIPAL OFFENCE, AGE, GENDER These tables detail the principal offence, age and gender of all persons found guilty in the Higher Court. Age is calculated as at the date of the offence in the Higher Court collection; however it is calculated as at the date of finalisation in the Local and Children’s Courts. TABLES 3.13 AND 3.14a TO 3.14i: BAIL STATUS Bail status refers to the accused’s bail status at the hearing which disposed of the matter. Note that with trial cases, those who are on bail but then refused bail pending sentence after a guilty verdict are classified as ‘on bail’. Those remanded in custody are separated into ‘bail refused’ and ‘in custody, prior offence’. Corrective Services NSW and Juvenile Justice NSW 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’. TABLE 3.14a TO 3.14j: COURT DELAY These tables give an indication of the time taken to dispose of a case for trial and sentence matters by the accused’s bail status at the time the matter was disposed. They show 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 trial and/or sentences matters with very long duration times 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 cannot be added. Where a person’s bail status changed in the course of the proceedings the duration may have been affected. Note that Gosford District Court is now reported as a separate registry. Previously Gosford District Court cases were counted in Newcastle registry. The stages of proceedings are categorised as follows: Offence to committal The time from the date of the earliest offence to the date the matter was committed. Committal to outcome The time from date the matter was 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 matter. Outcome to sentence The time from latest date of determination of charges (guilty plea or verdict) to the date of sentence. This category is applicable only to those accused persons who were found guilty.

EXPLANATORY NOTES - HIGHER COURTS continued TABLE 3.15: PRIOR PROVEN OFFENCES
Table 3.15 provides information on prior proven offences for persons found guilty in the Higher Courts. The Bureau’s Reoffending Database (ROD) is used to derive an offending history for individuals by searching and matching court records over the previous 10 years. Court records from the NSW 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. If a person has multiple prior proven offences they are included in one category only and in the following order of priority: Prior proven offences of the same type, with a custodial penalty 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 (i.e. imprisonment or a control order) on at least one occasion, for an offence of this type. Prior proven offences of the same type, without a custodial penalty 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 imprisonment or a control order for that offence. 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 custodial penalty (i.e. imprisonment or a control order) as well as non-custodial penalties. 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. TABLE 3.16: OUTCOME OF APPEAL, TYPE OF APPEAL
Table 3.16 presents the outcomes of appeals to the District Court against conviction, severity or inadequacy of sentences imposed in the Local Courts and against AVOs granted or not granted by the Local Courts. Appeals by or against companies as well as persons are included. The appeal outcome categories are: 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.

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. Intensive Correction Order 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’. Intensive Correction Orders replaced the penalty of periodic detention in October 2010.
Suspended sentence Under Section 12 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) 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. Generally they require the offender to be ‘of good behaviour’ for a certain length of time. Conditions may also be included, for example: (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. This category includes persons charged for certain categories of child sexual assault who have been diverted into the NSW Pre-Trial Diversion of Offenders Program (Cedar Cottage). Please note that persons charged after 1 September 2013 were not eligible for diversion. In 2013, two people were referred to Cedar Cottage. 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. Bond without conviction and No conviction recorded Under Section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) 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.
