(c-d) As at 25 September 2009, there were a total of 240 monitored (youth justice) cases.
(2-3) The Department of Corrective Services is unable to provide this information as the Community and Youth Justice service boundaries do not align with the local electorate boundaries.
(4) All offenders are subject to supervision in accordance with their order. Offenders in the "monitored" caseload are seen by Duty Officers and compliance with their order is reviewed by the senior management group.
(a) As at 28 September 2009 there were no high risk cases in the monitored caseload.
(b) As at 28 September 2009 there were 245 medium risk offenders on the monitored caseload.

(5) For the week ending 25 September 2009, there were 51 monitored (youth justice) juvenile clients.
