Part 12 inserted After section 80 the following Part is inserted -- 15 " Part 12 -- Conditional suspended imprisonment Division 1 -- Imposition and effect of CSI 81. Certain courts may suspend imprisonment conditionally 20 (1) A prescribed court that sentences an offender to a term of imprisonment, or to an aggregate of terms of imprisonment, of 60 months or less may order that the whole of the term or terms be suspended for a period set by the court, but not more than 24 months, subject 25 to the following conditions -- (a) the standard obligations in section 83; and page 3 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Part 2 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Division 1 Sentencing Act 1995 amended s. 5 (b) one or more of the primary requirements in section 84, as decided by the court. (2) CSI is not to be imposed unless imprisonment for a term or terms equal to that suspended would, if it were 5 not possible to suspend imprisonment, be appropriate in all the circumstances. (3) CSI is not to be imposed if -- (a) the offence was committed when the offender was subject to an early release order; or 10 (b) the offender is serving or is yet to serve a term of imprisonment that is not suspended. (4) In subsection (3)(a) -- "early release order" means -- (a) a parole order, home detention order, or 15 work release order, made under the Sentence Administration Act 1995; or (b) a parole order, or re-entry release order, made under the Sentence Administration Act 2003. 20 (5) Subsection (1) does not prevent a prescribed court from imposing suspended imprisonment under Part 11. 82. Effect of CSI (1) An offender sentenced to CSI is not to serve any part of the imprisonment that is suspended unless a court 25 makes an order under section 84F or 84L. (2) The suspension period begins on the day on which the sentence is imposed. (3) If during the suspension period an offender is sentenced to imprisonment for another offence that was 30 not committed during the suspension period, the page 4 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Part 2 Sentencing Act 1995 amended Division 1 s. 5 suspension period continues to elapse while the offender is serving that sentence. (4) An offender who is sentenced to CSI is to be taken to be discharged from the sentence at the end of the 5 suspension period. (5) Subsection (4) does not affect the operation of subsection (1) or sections 84D to 84F. (6) For the purposes of a law other than this Part and Parts 11 and 13, a sentence of CSI is to be taken as 10 being a sentence of imprisonment. 83. CSI: standard obligations (1) The standard obligations of CSI are that the offender -- (a) must report to a community corrections centre 15 within 72 hours after being released by the court, or as otherwise ordered by the speciality court or a CCO; (b) must notify a CCO of any change of address or place of employment within 2 clear working 20 days after the change, or as otherwise ordered by the speciality court; (c) must not leave Western Australia except with, and in accordance with, the permission of the speciality court or the CEO; and 25 (d) must comply with section 76 of the Sentence Administration Act 2003. (2) The references to the speciality court in this section and sections 84A and 84C only have effect if Division 4 applies and are references to the speciality court 30 referred to in section 84N(1)(a) or (b). page 5 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Part 2 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Division 1 Sentencing Act 1995 amended s. 5 84. CSI: primary requirements CSI must contain at least one of these primary requirements -- (a) a programme requirement under section 84A; 5 (b) a supervision requirement under section 84B; (c) a curfew requirement under section 84C. 84A. Programme requirement (1) The purpose of a programme requirement is -- (a) to allow for any personal factors which 10 contributed to the offender's criminal behaviour to be assessed; and (b) to provide an opportunity for the offender to recognise, to take steps to control and, if necessary, to receive appropriate treatment for 15 those factors. (2) The programme requirement is a requirement that the offender must obey the orders of the speciality court or a CCO as to -- (a) undergoing assessment by a medical 20 practitioner, a psychiatrist, a psychologist or a social worker, or more than one of them and, if necessary, appropriate treatment; (b) undergoing assessment and, if necessary, appropriate treatment in relation to the abuse of 25 alcohol, drugs or other substances; (c) attending educational, vocational, or personal development programmes or courses; (d) residing at a specified place for the purposes of any of the matters in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c); 30 (e) more than one of the above. page 6 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Part 2 Sentencing Act 1995 amended Division 1 s. 5 (3) The speciality court or a CCO must not order the offender to undergo treatment of any sort unless a person qualified to recommend or administer the treatment has recommended that the offender undergo 5 such treatment. (4) A person is not to administer treatment of any sort mentioned in subsection (2) to the offender without the informed consent of the offender. (5) The requirements of a programme requirement 10 imposed as a condition of CSI are additional to the requirements of any other programmed requirement applicable to the offender under a community order or a PSO. (6) A programme requirement ceases to be in force when 15 the speciality court or a CCO gives the offender notice to that effect, or when the suspension period ends, whichever happens first. (7) A CCO must not give notice unless satisfied that the offender has complied with the programme 20 requirement. 84B. Supervision requirement (1) The purpose of a supervision requirement is to allow for the offender to be regularly monitored in the community, and to receive regular counselling, in a 25 way and to an extent decided by a CCO, for the purpose of either or both -- (a) rehabilitating the offender; (b) ensuring the offender complies with any direction given by the court when imposing the 30 requirement. page 7 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Part 2 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Division 1 Sentencing Act 1995 amended s. 5 (2) The supervision requirement is a requirement that the offender must contact a CCO, or receive visits from a CCO, as ordered by a CCO. (3) When imposing a supervision requirement, a court may 5 give any directions it decides are necessary to secure the good behaviour of the offender but the court is not to make a direction -- (a) the effect of which could be achieved by imposing a programme requirement; or 10 (b) that requires the offender to pay compensation or make restitution to any person. (4) Unless a CCO orders otherwise, while the offender is subject to a supervision requirement the offender must contact a CCO at least once in any period of 28 days. 15 (5) If the offender does not comply with subsection (4), the offender is to be taken to have breached the supervision requirement. (6) A supervision requirement ceases to be in force when the suspension period ends. 20 (7) Subsection (3)(b) does not prevent a court from making a reparation order under Part 16 84C. Curfew requirement (1) The purposes of the curfew requirement are -- (a) to allow for the movements of the offender to 25 be restricted during periods when there is a high risk of the offender offending; and (b) to subject the offender to short periods of detention at the place where the offender lives or at some other specified place. page 8 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Part 2 Sentencing Act 1995 amended Division 1 s. 5 (2) The curfew requirement is a requirement that the offender -- (a) must remain at a specified place (the "specified place"), for specified periods, subject to 5 subsection (8); and (b) must submit to surveillance or monitoring as ordered by a speciality court or a CCO. (3) The term of a curfew requirement must be set by the court when it imposes the requirement, but the 10 requirement must not be imposed so as to result in a curfew requirement being in force, whether under a sentence of CSI or an ISO or a PSO, for a continuous period that exceeds 6 months. (4) The term of a curfew is concurrent with the term of any 15 other curfew requirement applicable to the offender under another sentence of CSI or an ISO or a PSO, unless the court orders otherwise. (5) At any one time the aggregate of the unexpired terms of curfew requirements applicable to the offender 20 under sentences of CSI or ISOs or PSOs must not exceed 6 months. (6) The court may give directions as to the periods when the offender ought to be subject to a curfew. (7) The offender is not to be ordered by a CCO to remain 25 at a place for periods that amount to less than 2 or more than 12 hours in any one day. (8) The offender may only leave the specified place during a specified period -- (a) to do community corrections activities as 30 required under this Act or the Sentence Administration Act 2003; (b) to obtain urgent medical or dental treatment for the offender; page 9 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Part 2 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Division 1 Sentencing Act 1995 amended s. 5 (c) for the purpose of averting or minimising a serious risk of death or injury to the offender or to another person; (d) to obey an order issued under a written law 5 (such as a summons) requiring the offender's presence elsewhere; (e) for a purpose approved of by a CCO; or (f) on the order of a CCO. (9) The curfew requirement ceases to be in force when its 10 term ends, or when the suspension period ends, whichever happens first. (10) Without limiting the means by which the offender may be kept under surveillance or monitored, the speciality court or a CCO may, for the purposes of 15 subsection (2)(b), order the offender -- (a) to wear any device; or (b) to permit the installation of any device or equipment at the place where the offender lives. (11) A CCO may give such reasonable directions to the 20 offender as are necessary for the proper administration of the curfew requirement. (12) Without limiting subsection (11), if the offender is authorised under subsection (8) to leave the specified place, a CCO may give directions as to -- 25 (a) when the offender may leave; (b) the period of the authorised absence; (c) when the offender must return; (d) the method of travel to be used by the offender during the absence; and 30 (e) the manner in which the offender must report the offender's whereabouts. page 10 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Part 2 Sentencing Act 1995 amended Division 1 s. 5 (13) To ascertain whether or not the offender is complying with the curfew requirement, a CCO may, at any time -- (a) enter or telephone the specified place; 5 (b) enter or telephone the offender's place of employment or any other place where the offender is authorised or required to attend; or (c) question any person at any place referred to in paragraph (a) or (b). 10 (14) A person must not -- (a) hinder a person exercising powers under subsection (13); or (b) fail to answer a question put pursuant to subsection (13)(c) or give an answer that the 15 person knows is false or misleading in a material particular. Penalty: $2 000 and imprisonment for 12 months. (15) In this section -- "specified" means specified by the speciality court or 20 the CEO from time to time. Division 2 -- Consequences of re-offending 84D. Re-offender may be dealt with or committed (1) Subject to section 84P(1), if a court convicts a person of an offence the statutory penalty for which is or 25 includes imprisonment and that offence was committed during the suspension period of CSI imposed on the person in relation to another offence, the court -- (a) if it is a court of petty sessions, must deal with the person under section 84F unless the CSI 30 was imposed -- (i) by the Children's Court for an indictable offence; or page 11 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Part 2 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Division 1 Sentencing Act 1995 amended s. 5 (ii) by a superior court, in which case the court must commit the person to the court that imposed the CSI and that court must deal with the person under section 84F; 5 (b) if it is the District Court, must deal with the person under section 84F unless the CSI was imposed by the Children's Court or the Supreme Court for an offence which the District Court would not have jurisdiction to 10 deal with if it were committed by an adult, in which case the Court must commit the person to the court that imposed the CSI and that court must deal with the person under section 84F; or (c) if it is the Children's Court or the Supreme 15 Court, must deal with the person under section 84F. (2) The powers in subsection (1) may be exercised by a court at any time, even if the suspension period has ended. 20 (3) Subsection (1) does not affect the powers of the court that convicts the person of the offence committed during the suspension period to deal with the person for that offence. (4) A court that under subsection (1) commits a person to 25 another court must certify that the person has been convicted of an offence committed during the suspension period.

(3) If under subsection (1)(a) or (b) a court orders a person to serve a term, or part of a term, of imprisonment that was suspended -- 30 (a) section 88 applies in respect of the term to be served; and page 18 Sentencing Legislation Amendment Bill 2004 Amendments about suspended imprisonment Part 2 Sentencing Act 1995 amended Division 1 s. 5 (b) the court may make a parole eligibility order under section 89, as if the term to be served were a term of imprisonment being imposed by the court. 5 (4) If a person is dealt with under subsection (1)(d), then, unless the suspension period has ended, the sentence of CSI remains in effect and the suspension period continues to elapse. (5) In dealing with a person under this section a court must 10 take into account the extent to which the person has complied with the CSI and how long the person has been subject to the CSI. 84M.
