Where the "Stays Commenced" is listed as less
than 5, this is to ensure that there is no risk of identifying a detainee.
Where the offence type is listed as 'Inadequate or Unavailable Data' this will
generally be cases where the young person was received under arrest and the
offence data is not recorded, or where the young person has become sentenced,
but the sentencing information has not been finalised.
(2) Because of
the small cohort of detainees at unit 18, this information is not able to be
provided without risk of identifying individuals.
