This data item is core to the JJ NMDS as it distinguishes the types of arrangements under which a juvenile justice client is held, supervised or case managed by the juvenile justice department. This data element is central to the development of a comparable data collection on juvenile justice. It will facilitate comparative analysis of the distribution of juvenile justice clients across intervention types (such as remand and detention). It will also allow for comparison of the types of interventions imposed with other client variables such as age, sex, Indigenous status and geographic location indicators. Categories can be amalgamated to distinguish between clients under custodial and non-custodial arrangements.
