INTRODUCTION
This publication presents statistics about finalised defendants charged with federal offences that were dealt with by the criminal jurisdiction of the Higher (Supreme and Intermediate), Magistrates' and Children's Courts of Australia, for the period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011. It includes data for all states and territories, except the Tasmanian Higher Courts. Data for the Tasmanian Higher Courts are not available for inclusion in the publication, therefore complete national data are not yet available for this collection. Data for the contributing states and territories have been aggregated to provide a total for the tables presented, unless otherwise specified.
This chapter provides an introduction to the federal defendants collection. Chapter 2 presents data about finalised defendants with federal charges classified using the Australian and New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC). Chapter 3 presents data about federal offences heard in the criminal courts and classified to a non-standard group of offences, providing an alternative view of federal defendants and their charges.
