I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The

record this data based on electorates; however, the data below is
provided based on regions. The regions are Pilbara, Kimberley, Gascoyne and
midwest, and goldfields and Esperance. Young people are managed in the
community by police and court-referred juvenile justice teams, which involves
the preparation of court sentencing reports, serving deferred arrest warrants
and any other services provided by youth justice services to young people in
the community.
