This legislation has been repealed.
An offender's assessment report must assess the offender's suitability to serve a sentence by way of periodic detention by reference to the following factors:
(a) the degree, if any, to which the person is dependent on alcohol or drugs (a major alcohol or drug problem being an indicator of unsuitability),
(b) the offender's psychiatric or psychological condition (a major psychiatric or psychological disorder being an indicator of unsuitability),
(c) the person's medical condition (a medical condition that may render the offender unfit to report for periodic detention being an indicator of unsuitability),
(d) the offender's criminal record, if any (a serious criminal record being an indicator of unsuitability),
(e) the offender's employment and other personal circumstances (circumstances that may render the offender's regular attendance at a periodic detention centre impracticable being an indicator of unsuitability).
