65% Reduction in Car Theft in Last Ten Years
• $11.6 billion was spent on the criminal justice system in Australia in 2009 ($1.5 billion spent on courts and $8.1 billion on police services across the nation) (AIC 2011, p. 123).
• Since 2002, the criminal justice budget has increased by 36% overall and approximately 6% every year (AIC 2011, p. 123).
• Over $3 billion was spent on corrective services in 2009; only 12% of the budget was spent on community corrections. This corresponds $193 for every adult (AIC 2011, p. 130).
• The average cost of keeping someone in prison is $210 per day compared to $17 for community correction (AIC 2011, p. 132)
• It costs $541 per day to keep a juvenile offender in detention (in NSW) (Weatherburn, Vignaendra & McGrath 2009, p. 3).
• Property crime rates in 2009 were the lowest recorded since 1996 (AIC 2011, p. 7).
• The number of offenders in prisons around Australia increased from 82,290 in 2007–08 to 85,389 in 2008–09 (AIC 2011, p. 108).
• Australia’s prison population continues to grow at a rate that is four times that of the general population (ABS 2009, cited in Heseltine, Day & Sarre 2011, p. 2).
• More than half of prisoners are repeat offenders (ABS 2010, p. 11).
• 26% of the total prisoner population were identified as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ABS 2010, p. 47).
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are 14 times more likely to be imprisoned than non-aboriginal people – no change in this statistic since 2009 (ABS 2010, p. 48).

• Since 2002, the criminal justice budget has increased by 36% overall and approximately 6% every year (AIC 2011, p. 123).
• Over $3 billion was spent on corrective services in 2009; only 12% of the budget was spent on community corrections. This corresponds $193 for every adult (AIC 2011, p. 130).
• The average cost of keeping someone in prison is $210 per day compared to $17 for community correction (AIC 2011, p. 132)
• It costs $541 per day to keep a juvenile offender in detention (in NSW) (Weatherburn, Vignaendra & McGrath 2009, p. 3).
• Property crime rates in 2009 were the lowest recorded since 1996 (AIC 2011, p. 7).
• The number of offenders in prisons around Australia increased from 82,290 in 2007–08 to 85,389 in 2008–09 (AIC 2011, p. 108).
• Australia’s prison population continues to grow at a rate that is four times that of the general population (ABS 2009, cited in Heseltine, Day & Sarre 2011, p. 2).
• More than half of prisoners are repeat offenders (ABS 2010, p. 11).
• 26% of the total prisoner population were identified as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ABS 2010, p. 47).
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are 14 times more likely to be imprisoned than non-aboriginal people – no change in this statistic since 2009 (ABS 2010, p. 48).
