Children Held on Remand examines case outcomes for children who were held on remand in Victoria in 2017–18. It reports on the demographics and criminal history of children held on remand, the offences remanded children were charged with and the outcome of their case. It considers the relationship between remand and sentence, and identifies the proportion of remanded children who did not go on to receive a custodial sentence for their offending.
A two-page factsheet summarises the key findings of the report.
