17.3 Table Changes

Print

This census is part of a series that, taken together, can indicate larger trends not apparent in individual censuses. Ideally the data collected and analysed comes from identical questions with identical interpretations and methods of summary from one year to the next. However every census sees some change in the material collected and analysed. A summary of the differences between this (2003) census and the previous census (2001) is given below.

Change

2001 Census table number and description

Notes (using 2003 Census table number and description)

Discontinued

3-6 Number of iwi named for sentenced inmates

This table indicated that a small number of individuals identified with more than one iwi.

Discontinued

9-4 Age of youngest child living with sentenced inmates

This question was not asked in the manual questionnaire and not available from other sources.

Discontinued

11-8 Previous sentence type for remanded inmates

This table merely demonstrated that, of those remand inmates that had previously been in prison most had been in prison.

Discontinued

11-16 Care of children for remand inmates

Insufficient data available

Discontinued

13-2 Inmates transferred from prison to a psychiatric hospital (Time series)

Inmates are either serving a custodial sentence or not: there is no official "on transfer" status. An improved specification will be developed to allow for meaningful reporting of inmates under the care of psychiatric services.

Discontinued

13-14 Sentenced inmates enrolled in programmes (Time series)

The data described in this table has had its collection method and definitions change so often that it is inappropriate to treat it as numerical trend data. The delivery number and type of programmes is under ongoing refinement.

Discontinued

13-12 Supervision of sentenced inmates (Time series)

The data described in this table was not collected using the manual questionnaire this censuses. Further, current practice does not lend itself to defining an inmate as being under “psychiatric supervision”.

Replaced

11-10 Remand inmates currently receiving medication

Table 8-4:
Sentenced and remand inmates currently receiving medication

Replaced

11-9 “Patch” (gang) membership - remand inmates

13-24 Patch membership of sentenced males

Table 13-21:
Total gang membership of sentenced males (percent)

Both the above tables have a discontinuity due to IOMS data not differentiating patch members from others.
