The percentage of Australians with a criminal record.
Dear Australian Institute of Criminology,
I am aware that this question has been asked before and that the AIC advised that this was not a statistic that was kept.
However, the previous question was 6 or 7 years ago and I thought it might be possible that the system has been changed to provide this (very relevant) statistic.
Is this information currently available (the percentage of Australians with a criminal record) and where can I obtain it?
Yours faithfully,
David M
