ASSAULT

234 The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (25 March 2009). Can the Attorney-General advise—

1. What was the average penalty imposed in cases where the offence of Assault (section 20 of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935) was the sole offence mentioned on a complaint or information within the Magistrates and District Courts for the 2008 calendar year; and

2. How does the abovementioned data break down by judicial officer, noting the number of cases heard and the average penalty imposed for the offence by each judicial officer?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business): The Attorney-General has received this information:

The information being sought is not in a format that would enable the CAA to meet this request. The CAA does not maintain any information about average penalties by offence. The Criminal Courts Australia Report published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Crime and Justice in South Australia Report published by the Office of Crime Statistics and Research (OCSAR) would provide most of the information requested.
