Story Behind the Curve
For FY24 (July 2023 - June 2024), there was an increase in the number of individuals detained. While the average for FY23 was 415, FY24 saw this number rise to 433, representing a 4.3% increase compared to FY23. This growth may be influenced by public perceptions of increased crime, as well as well-publicized efforts by law enforcement and other stakeholders to address these concerns. It could also signal a return to pre-pandemic patterns of policing and charging. In FY23, detained individuals accounted for 31% of the total incarcerated population, and in FY24, this rose slightly to 31.6%, reflecting only a marginal increase.
