</p><p>The dataset includes all offenders starting an order with a community payback
requirement between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2023. The start of the community
payback requirement has been defined as either the first attended session of group
work, or an individual placement, or the completion of Employment, Training and Education
work.</p><p>There are a variety of reason why a person hasn't completed their first
community payback session. These include receiving a custodial sentence or remanded
into custody, recall to prison, a warrant for their arrest, deportation, suitability
of sentence and non -compliance. For issues of suitability or non-compliance requirements
are returned to court for appropriate action to be taken.</p><p>People whose first
community payback session took place over a year from their order start date have
been excluded from the average days calculation as additional court work would need
to be completed to ensure that the first session was worked within a lawful period.</p><p>People
who have not completed a first work session have also been excluded from the average
day calculation, along with those where a first work session has been recorded after
the community payback requirement was terminated.</p><p>The 2023 figure is subject
to change as offenders sentenced in late 2023 will still have time to complete their
first community payback session.</p><p>Centrally collected data are only available
from 2021.</p><p>Between 2021 and 2023, a total of 23,256 offenders did not complete
their first session of community payback.</p><p>This figure is subject to change as
offenders sentenced in late 2023 will still have time to complete their first community
payback session.</p><p>Data as at 15 April 2024. Data are sourced from nDelius and
while these data have been assured as much as practical, as with any large administrative
dataset, the data should not be assumed to be accurate to the last value presented.</p>
