4 Preface This Statistical Report examines police arrests and juvenile cautions in Western Australia during 2006 and is the second in a series of online statistical reports allowing access to a wide range of criminal justice information. Other reports in the series will follow, adult court records, children s court appearances, adult imprisonment and community corrections. Henceforth, the complete series for each year will replace information previously published in our annual report Crime and Justice Statistics for Western Australia. This series is made possible by the co-operation of the Western Australia Police, Department of the Attorney General, and Department of Corrective Services. The goodwill and constructive working relationships between the Centre and these organizations has ensured the continuing production of its statistical report series for nearly two decades. Within the Centre, this series is the product of teamwork, patience and a commitment to collecting, collating and analyzing data. The meticulous tasks of data validation and extraction, producing statistics, and assembling the report were the responsibilities of John Fernandez, Anna Ferrante, Nini Loh, Max Maller, Matt Walsh and Wendy Wrapson.

5 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Introduction This chapter describes data about police arrests/summons and juvenile cautions. Information about arrests is a crucial measure of law enforcement activity and provides the basic official measure of offending behaviour. For most offenders, being arrested by the police is the gateway to further involvement in the criminal justice system 1. Police arrest information provided to the Crime Research Centre derives from the WA Police BriefCase system 2, and includes details about the arrest, charges laid and the demographic characteristics of the alleged offender 3. The data includes serious traffic-related offences, such as reckless driving and driving under the influence. Regarding traffic related offences, this data includes serious offences such as reckless driving and driving under the influence. Minor traffic offences such as speeding and parking are generally not included in the data, unless they were associated with an arrest that involved more serious offences (traffic or otherwise). The arrest data does not include cases of juvenile offenders who were formally cautioned or who were referred to a juvenile justice team (previously the Children s Panel) 4. In this Report the counting rules used to describe arrests are different to those used in reports prior to the 2004 Report. Previously, we counted an apprehension for each separate offence for which a person was charged at a point in time. This has meant that in the past, apprehension counts have over-estimated the number of actual arrests/summons of people. We now count each arrest event, which is defined as the event of a person being either physically arrested or summonsed to appear in court in relation to one or more separate offences, with any number of charges (counts) for each of those offences. So, for example, an arrest involving one charge of resisting arrest and two counts of assaulting a public officer would have been counted previously as two apprehensions, but is now counted as one arrest event. The tables at the end of the chapter also reflect this counting rule; that is, Tables 11, 14 and 17 describe all arrest events. The terms arrest, arrest/summons and arrest event are used synonymously in this Report, as are the terms offence and alleged offence. The report also describes all distinct persons arrested during the counting period. Distinct persons are counted only once in the counting period, even though they may have been arrested on more than one occasion. Counting distinct persons makes it possible to know how many people were involved in the alleged offending (i.e., prevalence), as distinct from how many alleged offences were brought to charge (i.e., incidence). For distinct persons, we count only the most serious offence if there was more than one during the period. New in this edition is a section dealing with offence counts, which describes counts of all charges in Western Australia. Offence counts are an important component of a more comprehensive description of arrests. 1. Arrests and cautions data described in this chapter are subject to caveats listed in Appendix A. 2. The BriefCase system replaced the previous P18 apprehensions system by the beginning of Throughout the chapter reference will be made to the Indigenous status of the alleged offender, which has been referred to in reports prior to the 2000 Report as Aboriginality or, simply, race. Indigenous status is derived from a field for ethnic appearance. For more information, see Appendix A. 4. Note that the Children s (Suspended Proceedings) Panel ceased operation in March Since then, the diversionary role of the Panel has been incorporated into the functions of juvenile justice teams. 1

6 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Also described in this report are data about cautions issued to juveniles by WA Police, which were obtained from the Juvenile Cautioning database. The database contains details about the sex, age and Indigenous status of the young offender, the date and time of the caution, the offence type (broad categories only), the locality of the offence, the place of caution, the police station involved and an indication of whether parents were aware of the caution. 2

7 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Trends During 2006 there were 59,776 arrest events involving 36,811 distinct persons charged with a total of 122,846 offence counts. Compared with 2005, the total number of arrest events increased by 1.6 percent, the total number of distinct persons arrested increased by 1.0 percent and the total number of offence counts increased by 4.6 percent.

Similarly, but not to the same extent, there were increasing trends in the rates of arrest events and distinct persons charged over the same period. Figure 1: Trends in rates of WA police arrests, Offence counts, arrest events and distinct persons arrested, per 1,000 persons, Offence counts Arrest events Distinct persons 5. The number of offence counts in December 2003 was significantly below what would reasonably be expected and the shortfall is likely to affect comparisons between 2003 and other years. 3

However, increases in arrests were experienced between 2004 and 2006 for all three counting methods, for all offence categories apart from driving and burglary and thefts.

9 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Offence Counts There were 122,846 offence counts charged in Western Australia during Over one half of all offence counts were for burglary and theft (26.7%) and against good order (26.2%). Offences against the person (15.2%), driving and motor vehicle offences (15.1%), and drug offences (9.9%), property damage (4.4%) and other offences (2.5%) made up the remainder. Figure 3 shows the breakdown of offences into these groups for all charges in 2006, compared with Figure 3: Offence counts by offence group, 2005 and 2006 Offence counts, by offence group, 2005 and Against the Person Burglary/Theft Driving/Motor Veh./Traffic Drugs Good Order Other Property Damage Figure 4 presents the proportion of offence counts that involved Indigenous persons, the proportion that involved juveniles and the proportion that involved females for each offence group (after missing cases have been excluded). For example, 37.5 percent of counts of offences against the person involved Indigenous people, 10.9 percent involved juveniles, and 15.2 percent involved females. Therefore, 62.5 percent of those counts involved non-indigenous people, 89.1 percent involved adults and 84.8 percent involved males. Indigenous persons were involved in a greater proportion of the counts for good order offences than they were for the other offence groups; while they were involved in a relatively low proportion of drug offence counts. Juveniles accounted for greater proportions of the counts for burglary/theft and property damage than they did for all other offence groups and females accounted for a greater proportion of the counts for burglary/theft than they did for all other offence groups. 5

11 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Arrest Events A total of 59,776 arrests events were made by police during 2006, with the average number of offence counts per arrest being 2.1, compared with 2.0 in In describing offence types for arrest events, we count only the most serious offence (if there were more than one) involved in the arrest event. The pattern of most serious offences in all arrest events was similar to the offence breakdown for all offence counts (above). The most common offence group for all arrest events in 2006 was offences against good order (mainly breaches of orders, resisting arrest and other). Overall, the proportion of all arrest events that each offence group accounted for was less than they were in all offences counts, except for good order offences (31.7%) and offences against the person (22.7%), which accounted for greater proportions of all arrests than they did for all offence counts (9.9% and 15.2%, respectively). This is to be expected as some good order offences and most offences against the person are generally more serious than most other types of offences occurring within a multi-offence arrest event and, hence, become the offence recorded here for the arrest event. The proportion of arrest events in 2006 that involved Indigenous persons, the proportion that involved juveniles and the proportion that involved females are presented in Figure 5 for each offence group (after missing cases have been excluded). Over one third (39.7%) of arrestees in arrest events for offences against the person were Indigenous, 10.3 percent were juvenile and 16.9 percent were female. Thus, 60.3 percent of those arrestees were non-indigenous people, 89.7 percent were adults and 83.1 percent were males. 7. This section reflects the new counting rule introduced in Crime and Justice Statistics in Western Australia, 2004, as discussed in the introduction. 7

Since 1996 there have been increases in the proportions of arrest events involving Indigenous people (from 27.2% in 1996 to 38.5% in 2006), but moderate changes in those involving females (from 18.7% in 1996 to 20.5% in 2006) and those involving juveniles (from 12.8% in 1996 to 11.5% in 2006). Almost one in five arrest events of Indigenous persons (18.4%) were juvenile, compared with about one in fifteen (7.1%) for non-indigenous persons. Figure 6 shows the distributions of Indigenous status, age status and sex of arrestees in arrest events where the most serious offence was motor vehicle theft. Indigenous persons accounted for 46.0 percent of such arrests, juveniles accounted for 41.0 percent and 15.4 percent involved females, excluding cases with missing values.

Figure 7 describes the gender of arrestees in arrest events where the most serious offence was a motor vehicle or driving offence not including vehicle theft. Of all such offences, over one third (35.3%) involved exceeding the alcohol limit, over one quarter (26.4%) involved driver s licence offences (that is, driving without a licence or driving while licence was cancelled or suspended) and driving under the influence accounted for over one quarter (26.2%). Females accounted for 17.8 percent of all vehicle and driving arrests, but only 6.9 percent of dangerous or negligent driving arrests. 8

For all arrest events in 2006 for which the most serious offence was burglary or other theft-related offences, almost one third (32.9%) involved theft (not motor vehicles), over one quarter (27.6%) involved burglary offences (residential or commercial premises), 11.2 percent involved fraud, 6.3 percent involved vehicle theft and 5.6 percent involved receiving/handling stolen goods. Figure 8 describes these arrest events, by the Indigenous status of the offender. After excluding cases of unknown Indigenous status, Indigenous people accounted for 55.0 percent of arrests for burglary offences, 46.0 percent of arrests for vehicle theft, 36.7 percent of arrests for other thefts and 33.8 percent of arrests for receiving. However, Indigenous people were arrested much less frequently than non-indigenous people for fraud offences - only 16.6 percent of such arrests involved Indigenous people.

Tables 11 and 14 at the end of the chapter show all arrest events by offence type, age, sex and Indigenous status of the arrestee. See Table 17 for a breakdown of arrest processing by sex, Indigenous status and offence group. 9

14 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Distinct Persons Arrested During 2006, the 36,811 distinct persons charged by police averaged 1.6 arrests per person, which is the same as in The number of distinct Indigenous persons arrested increased by 2.4 percent to 10,390 and the number of distinct non-indigenous persons arrested decreased by 4.6 percent to 24,447 during The number of distinct juveniles arrested increased by 7.3 percent to 3,282 and the number of adults arrested increased slightly to 33,518 during In 2006, the prevalence rate of distinct male arrestees was 3,197.0 per 100,000 male residents (aged ten years or over) and correspondingly was for females. The ratio of these two prevalence rates equates to the degree of over-representation within the population; thus, within all distinct persons arrested, the over-representation of males, compared with females, was 3.8. Table 2 illustrates trends in the number of persons arrested over the period 1996 to 2006, broken down by Indigenous status, sex and age status (juvenile/adult). The percentage of distinct persons who were Indigenous increased steadily within this period and in percent of all distinct persons arrested were Indigenous.

It shows the percentage of Indigenous persons in Western Australia who were arrested and the percentage of non-indigenous persons who were arrested for the period 1996 to Notwithstanding minor variations, the arrest rates show an slight decreasing trend for non-indigenous persons over the period and a marginal increase for Indigenous persons. Figure 10 depicts the over-representation of Indigenous arrestees, compared with non-indigenous arrestees over the period. The Indigenous over-representation shows a marked increasing trend from a factor of 5.4 in 1996 to 7.5 in

In particular, from 2001 the numbers of Indigenous arrestees show greater increases. 8. The percentage of the population arrested is calculated as a rate per 100 residents of the relevant population. Estimates for Indigenous populations 1996 to 2006 are taken from Table 10 in Australian Demographic Statistics (ADS), Sep (ABS Cat. No ). Estimates for Total populations: for 1996, is taken from ADS, Mar. 2002; for 1997 to 2001, are taken from ADS, Sep. 2002; and for 2002 to 2006, are taken from ADS, Sep Estimates for non-indigenous populations 1996 to 2006 are calculated from the above-mentioned estimates. Note that estimates for the 1996 to 2006 Indigenous populations and the 2002 to 2006 Total populations have been revised here since the publication of Crime and Justice Statistics in Western Australia,

Over the same period, the number of arrests of Indigenous juveniles showed a general increasing trend. Interestingly, the number of juvenile Indigenous female arrestees (Figure 11d) decreased from 2004 to 2006, yet the number of non-indigenous arrestees increased, which contrasts with the graphs of the three other sub-groups. For adults, the numbers of male and female non-indigenous arrestees have generally decreased. However, the numbers of male and female Indigenous arrestees have increased steadily. These increases are due mostly to increases in offences against the person and justice and good order offences, especially since The proportion of all arrestees who were Indigenous increased from 1996 to For all males, the proportion that were Indigenous increased from 18.0 percent in 1996 to 26.0 percent in 2006; and for all females the Indigenous proportion increased from 29.4 percent in 1996 to 44.5 percent in The Indigenous proportions for all female arrestees were consistently and significantly higher than for all male arrestees. Excluding 1,974 cases (5.4%) where Indigenous status was not known, over one quarter of all distinct persons arrested (29.8%) were Indigenous. However, while over one quarter (27.9%) of adults arrested were Indigenous, one half (50.5%) of juveniles arrested were Indigenous (excluding cases of unknown Indigenous status). 12

17 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Age of Distinct Persons Arrested Over half (55.8%) of all distinct persons arrested in 2006 were aged between 15 and 30 years, a small percentage were under 15 years (2.3%) and about one tenth (10.2%) were over 45 years. The average age of all persons arrested was 29.3 years, but was somewhat younger (28.5 years) for Indigenous people. The average age for females (30.0 years) was slightly older than for males (29.2 years). See Tables 12 and 15 for a breakdown of offence type by age, Indigenous status and sex. Rates of arrest were 1,418.2 per 100,000 for juveniles (persons aged 10 to 17) and 2,187.1 per 100,000 adults. As Table 3 shows, the risks of arrest were at their highest (at 6,682.6 per 100,000) amongst those persons aged 18 or 19 years.

Figures for 'Persons arrested' included cases of unknown sex. 4.2 Most Serious Offence of Distinct Persons Arrested 9 Almost one third (31.1%) of distinct persons arrested in 2006 were charged with offences against the person as their most serious offence in the counting period, and almost one quarter (24.0%) were charged with good order offences, which includes weapons, explosives, public order and justice procedures offences. The most serious offences for the remainder of distinct persons charged were comprised of burglary and stealing offences, including motor vehicle theft, fraud and receiving (18.4%), road traffic and motor vehicle regulatory offences, mostly, exceeding the blood alcohol limit, (11.2%), drug offences (9.4%), property damage (3.9%) and other offences (1.9%). Figure 12 shows the breakdown of most serious offences for distinct persons arrested. 9. The offence categories in this section are based on the divisions in the Australian Standard Offence Classification (see ABS Cat ), whereas prior to the 2005 Report they were based on the Australian National Classification of Offences. Thus, the number of offences shown in each category is not strictly comparable with those from earlier Reports, even though the category names are similar. In particular, offences against the person now includes driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and dangerous or negligent driving, whereas previously they were included under the vehicle/driving category. 13

18 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Figure 12: Distinct persons arrested, by major offence group, Against person Burglary / Theft Damage Good order Drugs Vehicle / Driving Other Figure 13 provides a breakdown of burglary, theft and deception offences by the age status of the person arrested. For burglary offences, juveniles accounted for 37.3 percent, for motor vehicle thefts juveniles accounted for 36.2 percent and for other theft juveniles accounted for 11.6 percent. In all other offence categories below, adults accounted for 90 percent or more.

Figure 14 shows the breakdown of offences against the person by the Indigenous status of the person arrested. In all offence categories Indigenous persons accounted for a disproportionately high number of the distinct persons arrested: homicide (38.2%), assault (41.5%), sexual offences (23.0%), endangering persons (27.8%), abduction and deprivation of liberty (23.3%) and robbery (38.8%). A breakdown of arrest rates by sex and Indigenous status shows that, in 2006, Indigenous people were arrested at almost seventeen times the rate of non-indigenous people for offences against the person. Indigenous females were arrested at more than thirty one times the rate of non-indigenous females for such offences. 14

Figure 15 shows the breakdown of processing types for Indigenous and non-indigenous persons. For more details of arrest processing for different offence groups by Indigenous status, see Table 16. Figure 15: Processing of distinct persons arrested, by Indigenous status, Indigenous Non-Indigenous Unknown Arrest Bench Warrant Summons/ Juvenile Notice Unknown Table 4 gives percentages of processing types, by Indigenous status and age status. It shows that the proportion of adults who were arrested, rather than given a summons or juvenile notice, was greater than that of juveniles. It also shows that the proportion of Indigenous persons to be arrested, rather than given a summons or juvenile notice, was greater than that of non-indigenous persons person was issued with a bench warrant and 0.4% did not record processing type. 15

21 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Regional Distribution of Arrests Over half (56.9%) of all arrest events occurred in the Perth metropolitan area. The main sources for non-metropolitan arrests were the South Eastern region (8.5%), the Kimberley region (8.2%) and the South West region (8.1%). The proportions of all arrests in the remaining regions were: Central region (7.0%), Pilbara (5.3%), Lower Great Southern (2.8%), Midlands (2.3%) and Upper Great Southern (0.9%) 11. Table 5 summarises the proportions of arrest events of Indigenous people, juveniles and females by region. For example, in the Perth metropolitan area, 23.4 percent of all arrest events involved Indigenous people, 10.0 percent involved juveniles and 19.5 percent involved females. In contrast, in the Kimberley region, 88.6 percent of all arrest events involved Indigenous people, 9.3 percent involved juveniles and 21.8 percent involved females.

Differences in the regional distributions of Indigenous and non-indigenous people account for much of the regional variation in arrests; however, differences in life styles and policing practices will also have some effect. Table 6 shows the regional distribution of distinct Indigenous persons arrested. The highest arrest rates for Juvenile and Adult indigenous persons were recorded in the Central and South Eastern region respectively. The lowest total rates were in the South West and Perth regions.

(b) Rates are based on Indigenous populations in the regions from the 2006 Census. 11. Arrest localities were aggregated into nine geographical regions one Perth metropolitan area and eight non-metropolitan regions (South West, Lower Great Southern, Upper Great Southern, Midlands, South Eastern, Central, Pilbara and Kimberley). These regions correspond approximately to the Western Australian ABS statistical divisions of the same name. 17

22 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Cautioning A formal juvenile cautioning system was introduced in Western Australia in August 1991 as a joint initiative of the WA Police and the (then) Department for Community Services. The scheme operates with the intention of diverting young people committing minor offences from the criminal justice system. The system did not actually become part of the formal legal processes for dealing with young offenders until March 1995, following the introduction of the Young Offenders Act. Juveniles who are cautioned are not actually charged by the police and therefore do not appear in official arrest or court records. In 2006, there were 6,727 cautions issued by WA police, which is a decrease of 7.5 percent from A total of 5,754 distinct persons received the 6,727 cautions - an average of 1.2 cautions per person. Indigenous people accounted for 26.9 percent of persons cautioned and females comprised 31.2 percent (excluding 895 cases of unknown sex). An age breakdown of persons cautioned is provided in Table 19. Of all persons cautioned in 2006, 24.2 percent had been cautioned in previous years. As Table 7 and Figure 16 show, the number of cautions issued annually increased steadily over the period to 1994 but most dramatically in early 1995 immediately following the introduction of the Young Offenders Act. Since 2000, there has been a steady decrease in the number of cautions issued, though more noticeably for non-indigenous persons. The proportion of all cautions that were issued to Indigenous youth decreased in 2006 (to 28.6%) and the proportion issued to females increased (to 29.8 %).

In 2005 there was a sudden increase in the number of cases with unknown sex, from less than one percent to 8.4 percent. In 2006 there were 1004 cautions (14.9%) with unknown sex. Not a full year, August-December only. 18

23 Police Arrests and Juvenile Cautions Figure 16: Monthly breakdown of cautions, by Indigenous status, Cautions issued, by Indigenous status, Indigenous Non-Indigenous Figure 17 shows the age distribution of Indigenous and non-indigenous persons issued with cautions in It shows that the variation in the number of cautions issued is less for Indigenous persons than it is for non- Indigenous persons. The peak age at which Indigenous youth received cautions (13 to 14 years) was younger than the peak age at which non-indigenous youth received cautions (15 to 16 years). Figure 17: Total number of cautions issued by Indigenous status and age, Indigenous Non-Indigenous d e u s I s n t io u a C Age in Years Table 8 shows a breakdown of cautions issued, by offence type and Indigenous status. Almost half (49.6%) of all cautions issued in 2006 were for property offences. The remainder of cautions were issued mostly for good order (10.2%), offences against the person (8.9%), drug offences (8.4%), traffic offences (6.2%), and other miscellaneous offences (13.4%). The most common offence types for which Indigenous youths were cautioned were property offences (58.0%), offences against the person (11.5%), good order offences (11.3%), and other offences (10.8%); and the most common offence types for non-indigenous juveniles were property offences (46.3%), other offences (14.4%), drug offences (10.5%) and good order offences (9.7%). Offences against the person, property offences and good order offences accounted for larger proportions of the cautions issued to Indigenous youths than they did for those issued to non-indigenous youths. 19

Table 9 shows the distribution of cautions issued within the groups of metropolitan and non-metropolitan police regions. It shows that slightly more than half (53.7%) of all cautions were issued in the Perth metropolitan area. Not unexpectedly, non-metropolitan regions accounted for more of the cautions issued to Indigenous youths (55.3%). The Perth metropolitan area accounted for 36.9 percent of the cautions issued to Indigenous youths, while 33.3 percent were issued in the northern regions.
