(b) Data for the periods 2008–09 to 2012–13 have been revised due to backcast historical population estimates and updated population projections for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons. For more information see Explanatory Note 74 in ABS Recorded Crime – Offenders, Australia, 2013–14 (cat. no. 4519.0). (c) South Australian data for 2011–12 and 2012–13 have been revised as many unranked offences in the National Offence Index (NOI) have been backcoded into detailed categories of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZOC). For more information see Explanatory Note 71 in ABS Recorded Crime – Offenders, Australia, 2013–14 (cat. no. 4519.0). (d) Data for 2012–13 have been revised due to a correction of an error causing a small undercount of SA offenders. For more information see Explanatory Note 72 in ABS Recorded Crime – Offenders, Australia, 2013–14 (cat. no. 4519.0). Source: ABS Recorded Crime – Offenders, Australia, 2013–14 (cat. no. 4519.0).
