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

The data does not include:

  • charges where the defendant was deceased, acquitted or charges were withdrawn,discontinued or subsumed and dismissed
  • Youth Justice cases
  • cases or charges in the Supreme Court
  • appeal and community conference cases
  • legacy sentencing orders, e.g., Warrant – Suspended Sentence

Sentencing may take a wide range of factors into account.
