APPENDIX EXPERIMENTAL COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS DATA


INTRODUCTION

This appendix presents experimental data for Indigenous persons in community-based corrections. Data are presented as the number of Indigenous persons on community-based corrections orders on the first day of the month.

An initial evaluation of the quality of Indigenous identification by the ABS in community-based corrections has highlighted that currently most jurisdictions comply with the requirements of the ABS Standard Indigenous Question (SIQ - see Explanatory Notes, paragraphs 26 - 28). As Indigenous Status data for persons under the supervision of Community-Based Corrections are still experimental, care should be taken when referring to this data. The quality of Indigenous data is being reviewed in 2010.
