Suburb-based crime statistics for crimes against the person and crimes against property. The Crime statistics datasets contain all offences against the person and property that were reported to police in that respective financial year. The Family and Domestic Abuse-related offences datasets are a subset of this, in that a separate file is presented for these offences that were flagged as being of a family and domestic abuse nature for that financial year. Consequently the two files for the same financial year must not be added together. Data is point in time.

Dataset Description: South Australia Crime Data 2022-2023🕵️‍♂️

Overview: Dive into the depths of criminal activities with the South Australia Crime Statistics 2022-2023 dataset. This comprehensive collection encapsulates a detailed breakdown of crimes reported across various suburbs, offering insights into offences against persons and properties. Ideal for enthusiasts and practitioners of data science, criminology, and policy-making, this dataset opens up possibilities for a wide array of analyses.

What We Can Do with the Data: - Perform trend analysis to understand crime patterns over time. - Conduct geographical analysis to identify crime hotspots. - Explore relationships between different types of crimes. - Develop predictive models for crime occurrence or escalation. - Inform public policy and community safety strategies.

Column Descriptors: - Reported Date: Date of crime report (e.g., 01/07/2022). - Suburb - Incident: Suburb where the incident occurred. - Postcode - Incident: Postcode of the incident location. - Offence Level 1 Description: Broad categorization of the offence. - Offence Level 2 Description: More specific categorization of the offence. - Offence Level 3 Description: Detailed description of the offence. - Offence count: Number of times the offence occurred.

Tips for Processing Data: - Convert 'Reported Date' to datetime format for any time-series analysis. - Handle missing values in 'Suburb - Incident' and 'Postcode - Incident'. - Check and clean any duplicate or inconsistent records. - Consider normalizing or standardizing 'Offence count' if used in predictive modeling.

In 2024, there were approximately 28.29 thousand non-indigenous prisoners and around 15.87 thousand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners incarcerated across Australia. The number of people imprisoned in Australia has risen considerably in 2017, and dropped slightly in the years after.

In 2024, approximately 3,354 people were imprisoned in Australia for homicide and related offences. The number of people imprisoned for homicide has risen by around 300 people over the past ten years.

This dataset contains counts of offences recorded by the NT Police, categorised by offence type, time period (month), location and (for assault offences) alcohol and domestic violence involvement. Certain types of offences show strong seasonal impacts and numbers show considerable monthly variation, particularly at the regional level. In April 2025, a new version of the Australian-New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC) was implemented in the Northern Territory, which is the standard to be used by all Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions. Key offence categories in the crime statistics, such as homicide, assault, sexual offences, robbery, burglary, theft, and property damage, are included in the new classification. No recorded offences have been deleted or created as a result of this process, but they may be reclassified, meaning they are reported in a different category. Thus, care must be taken when comparing the crime statistics in this time series with previously published time series. Since implementation of the SerPro data system in November 2023, it has been identified that entry of the data used for crime statistics generally happens later in the investigation process when compared to the previous PROMIS system. This means that monthly data takes longer to settle and may take several months to reflect the actual numbers of offences recorded by police. For this reason, the monthly crime statistics should be reviewed with caution and will be marked as provisional until data collection is substantially complete. There has been a break in the crime statistics time series following November 2023, due to the implementation of SerPro. This means that the statistics from December 2023 onwards should not be compared directly to earlier statistics.

Offender statistics provide data relating to the number and characteristics of alleged offenders who have been proceeded against by police during the 12 month reference period. This publication provides a profile of alleged offenders, including their age, sex, Indigenous status, principal offence, how often they have been proceeded against by police within the reference period, as well as a count of proceedings that may result in court or non-court actions.

This dataset presents the footprint of the number of criminal incidents by principal offence recorded on the Victoria Police Law Enforcement Assistance Program (LEAP). A recorded criminal incident is a criminal event that may include multiple offences, alleged offenders and/or victims that is recorded on the LEAP database on a single date and at one location. The data spans the years ending March in the period of 2010 to 2019 and is aggregated to 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Local Government Areas (LGA). The CSA recorded crime collection includes all offences that are reported to, and detected by, Victoria Police and recorded on the LEAP database. The scope and coverage of the data, however, is not representative of all crime that occurs in Victoria. Some crimes may not be recorded on LEAP, not be reported to police, or the responsibility for responding to certain offences may lie with another agency. Recorded criminal incident data are compiled on the basis of the date that the incident was created on the LEAP database, rather than the date the incident was detected by, or reported to police. The creation date may not be the date when the incident occurred, or the date when the incident came to the attention of police. For further information about this dataset and related statistics, visit the data source:Crime Statistics Australia. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Recorded crime statistics are based on data extracted by Victoria police on the 18th day after the reference period, and are subject to movement between releases.

Historical dataset showing Australia murder/homicide rate per 100K population by year from 1990 to 2021.

Each quarter, ACT Policing issues crime statistics illustrating the offences reported or becoming known in suburbs across Canberra.

The selected offences highlighted in the statistics include: assault, sexual offences, robbery, burglary, motor vehicle theft, other theft (such as shoplifting and fraud) and property damage. It is important to note that these numbers may fluctuate as new complainants come forward, more Traffic Infringement Notices are downloaded into the system, or when complaints are withdrawn.

It should also be noted that the individual geographical areas will not combine to the ACT totals due to the exclusion of rural sectors and other regions.

It is important for the community to understand there may be a straight-forward explanation for a spike in offences in their neighbourhood.

For example, sexual offences in Narrabundah increased from two in the January to March last year, to 32 in the first quarter of 2012. These 32 sexual offences relate to one historical case which was reported to police in January 2012, and which has since been finalised.

The smaller the number of reported offences involved, the greater the chance for a dramatic percentage increase.

This dataset presents the footprint of the rates of family incidents retrieved from Victoria Police. The data spans the financial years in the period of July 2013 to June 2018 and is aggregated to 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Local Government Areas (LGA). The Victorian Family Violence Database is a repository for a range of different datasets relating to family violence clients and service use, extracted from the data holdings of a variety of government agencies. The rate of family incidents per 100,000 population is calculated using the count of family incidents recorded in a LGA and the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) of that LGA. The rate is calculated using the following formula: Family Incident Rate = (Number of Family Incidents/ERP count) x 100,000. ERPs are based on populations provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

The data contains information collected by Victoria Police on the L17 Risk Assessment and Risk Management Report.
