48201 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children

48201 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: What is the number of serious and persistent youth offenders since 27 November 2023 to date, broken down by month and location?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised that the number of serious and persistent youth offenders broken down by month is not available. In order to accurately report against Government Target 3, the data reported captures the total serious and persistent young offenders over the 12 month period prior. This ensures each serious and persistent young offender is counted once over that period and provides more accurate reporting. The attached table below shows this information for the 12-month periods from November 2023 through to the end of June 2024 by location.
