South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts (1) If a person has
been dealt with under this Act by a police officer or a family conference, and
the question of prior offences subsequently arises in proceedings relating to
offences committed by that person as an adult, the offences for which the
person was dealt with by the police officer or family conference will be
disregarded.
(2) Records of
admissions of guilt on the basis of which a youth was dealt with by a police
officer or family conference under this Act are admissible as evidence of
prior offending in subsequent proceedings relating to offences committed
before the youth reached 18 years of age but any offences so dealt with will
be regarded as of minor significance.
