young men', said Mr Beard. Indigenous over-representation in the juvenile justice system for young women is very high-Indigenous young women were around 16 times as likely as non-Indigenous young women to be under community-based supervision, and 19 times as likely to be in detention. This was higher than levels of Indigenous over-representation among young men (13 and 17 times as likely, respectively). Over the 5 year period from 2006-07 to 2010-11, rates of young women aged 10-17 under supervision rose from 0.8 to 1.0 per 1,000 on an average day. This increase was greater than the corresponding increase among young men. In 2010-11, young men were 4 times as likely as young women to be under supervision on an average day, compared with 5 times the likelihood in 2006-07.
