Summary

Aim

To provide an overview of adult and juvenile re-offending over the last 10 years in New South Wales (NSW).

Method

Descriptive analysis of data from the NSW Re-offending Database (ROD).

Results

Most offenders convicted in the NSW criminal courts were reconvicted of a further offence within 10 years of their initial offence, and this was especially so for juveniles and Indigenous offenders. Those reconvicted tended to be reconvicted for a variety of offences.
