The NSW Reoffending Database (ROD) contains information on each person who has been convicted of a criminal offence in NSW since 1994 and is used by the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research to determine the proportion of offenders who have been re-convicted for a further offence. This tool looks at two measures of reoffending:
1. What percentage of people with a proven finalised court appearance, completed Youth Justice Conference or Police caution under the Young Offenders Act reoffend within the next 12 months?*
2. What percentage of people released from sentenced custody reoffend within the next 12 months?
*exclude those sentenced to prison.
