Consistent with the decline in crime, there was a downward trend in the total number of offenders brought to court for offenses committed in Cabramatta between January 2000 and December 2001. Police have increasingly used formal charges in preference to other approaches, such as court attendance notice, to bring defendants to court. The total number of alleged offenders against whom court action was initiated by police declined over the period, consistent with the decline in recorded crime. Other forms of police activity in Cabramatta have increased, however; since July 2001, there has been a substantial increase in the number of knife searches conducted, as well as in the number of "move-on" directions issued by the police. 3 tables, 5 figures, and 6 notes
