Notes
Components of tables may not sum to the totals due to rounding.
The average daily population of young people under community-based supervision and in detention may not sum to the total average daily population under supervision because a young person may move between community-based supervision and detention on the same day. 
Age is calculated at the start of the first period of relevant supervision. If the first period of relevant supervision began before the financial year, then age is calculated at the start of the financial year. A young person may therefore be included in one age category for one type of supervision and in another age category for a different type of supervision (for example, 15 years old for community-based supervision and 16 years old for detention).

Notes
1.	Western Australia and the Northern Territory did not supply JJ NMDS data for 2008–09.

3.	Age calculated as at start of financial year if first period of supervision in the relevant year began before the start of the financial year, otherwise age calculated as at start of first period of supervision in the relevant year. 
4.	Total includes young people of unknown Indigenous status.
5.	Rates are number of young people per 1,000 relevant population.
6.	Rates are not published where there were fewer than five young people.
7.	Rate ratio calculated by dividing the Indigenous rate by the non-Indigenous rate.

(c)	Detention data for Tasmania for 2005–06 are only available from 1 January 2006. The Australian totals for 2005–06 include these data and will therefore be an under-count of the total number in detention.

(a)	Number of young people on an average day may not sum to total due to rounding.
(b)	Totals for 2008–09 include aggregate data supplied by Western Australia and 2007–08 data for the Northern Territory, where available. Numbers were rounded to the nearest five young people and therefore may not sum to total. 
(c)	Detention data for Tasmania for 2005–06 are only available from 1 January 2006. The Australian totals for 2005–06 include these data and will therefore be an under-count of the total number in detention.
Notes
1.	Western Australia and the Northern Territory did not supply JJ NMDS data for 2008–09. 
2.	Total includes young people of unknown Indigenous status.
3.	Number of unsentenced and sentenced young people may not sum to total number of young people as some young people may have changed legal status during the same day.

2.	Number of unsentenced and sentenced young people may not sum to total number of young people as some young people may have changed legal status during the same day.

Notes
1.	The number of Indigenous young people in December each year is approximated by averaging of the two relevant 30 June Indigenous population projects; numbers may not therefore sum to the total.
2.	The number of Indigenous young people aged 10–17 years is approximated by summing the total number of Indigenous children aged 
10–14 years and three-fifths of the number of Indigenous young people aged 15–19 years. This method assumes that there is an even distribution of Indigenous young people in each single year of age between 15 and 19.
3.	The number of non-Indigenous young people is obtained by subtracting the number of Indigenous young people from the total number of young people.
