Australian community-based corrections 1985-86
This is the report of the first National census of community-based corrections in Australia. The census was conducted on 30 June 1985 in all states and territories, except in Victoria, where 30 September 1985 was preferred because of difficulties in computerising the client records system, and Tasmania, where 30 June 1986 was selected for similar reasons. The Census covered all adult persons serving noncustodial court orders on the census date, including post-prison orders such as parole and early-release schemes, as well as orders not involving terms of imprisonment, such as probation and community service orders. A full definition of the coverage of the Census is given in the Explanatory Notes.
