Magistrates Court Sentencing Statistics

The sentencing data available on this website comes from the Tasmanian Magistrates Court records.

The data covers the last 5 full financial years, plus the current financial year.

Only criminal cases are included (not civil cases).

The data only includes cases where the defendant was found guilty.

The data does not include

  • cases or charges where the defendant was acquitted or charges were withdrawn
  • Youth Justice cases
  • cases or charges in the Supreme Court
  • most breaches of orders and applications (e.g. for breach or review of orders)

Sentencing may take a wide range of factors into account.

This website cannot predict the outcome of future cases.
