Offender numbers—police districts—from Jan 2001

It is important to note that Queensland Police Service offender statistics are based on offence counts and do not and cannot refer to individuals. Rather, offender data refers to the number of offences cleared or solved through an action against an offender.

As such, offender data does not equate to a unique offender count nor does it equate to the number of offences cleared. Only persons ten years and over deemed to be offenders, Juvenile offenders are those aged between and including ten and sixteen years. Offenders have not been included if their age or gender is not specified in Queensland Police Service records.
