FEDERAL OFFENCES

This chapter presents information on all federal offences finalised in Australia's criminal courts during 2012–13. It includes counts of all federal offences a federal defendant is finalised for rather than just the principal offence used in the previous chapter.

Note that some federal offences may be counted more than once for a proven guilty offence if more than one sentence is handed down. Therefore the count of federal offences may be overstated. See Explanatory Notes, paragraph 46 for more detail.
