</ul>Intentional homicides are estimates of unlawful homicides purposely inflicted as a result of domestic disputes, interpersonal violence, violent conflicts over land resources, intergang violence over turf or control, and predatory violence and killing by armed groups. Intentional homicide does not include all intentional killing; the difference is usually in the organization of the killing. Individuals or small groups usually commit homicide, whereas killing in armed conflict is usually committed by fairly cohesive groups of up to several hundred members and is thus usually excluded.

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.

In financial year 2021, an estimated 1.7 percent of households in Australia experienced a break-in. Malicious property damage had the highest victimization rate for all selected household crimes.

In 2024, around 2,570 people were imprisoned for robbery or extortion in Australia. In the previous year, around 2,588 people were imprisoned for the same reason.

The World Crime Index 2023 dataset provides records of crime rankings for cities worldwide, along with associated information on their respective countries. This dataset is focused on the year 2023 and includes the following columns:

• Rank: The ranking of a city based on its crime index, with lower numbers indicating higher crime rates.
• City: The name of the city for which crime data is reported.
• Country: The country to which the city belongs.
• Crime Index: A numerical value representing the overall level of crime in a city, with higher values indicating higher crime rates.
• Safety Index: An index indicating the general level of safety in a city, derived from factors such as infrastructure, healthcare, and political stability.

This dataset enables data scientists to analyze and compare crime rankings across cities and countries, providing insights into the relative safety levels of different locations in the year 2023. By leveraging this dataset, researchers can conduct exploratory data analysis, perform comparative studies, and identify potential trends and patterns in crime rates globally for the specified year.

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.

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.

An interactive crime map is also available on the ACT Policing website https://www.policenews.act.gov.au/crime-statistics-and-data/crime-statistics

In 2023, around 1,179 crimes per 100,000 inhabitants have been reported in Taiwan. The crime rate in Taiwan increased from 1,139 incidents per 100,000 people in the previous year. Crime in Taiwan Over the last decade, the crime rate in Taiwan dropped significantly from 1,972 reported incidents per 100,000 inhabitants in 2008 to only 1,281 in 2013. In the following years, that downtrend weakened, but figures generally kept on decreasing. Compared to other countries, these numbers are in a medium range. Reported crimes per inhabitants in the United States, for example, were more than double that of Taiwan, although the crime rates in different states in the United States varied considerably. On the contrary, the crime rate in Singapore was only half as high as in Taiwan. However, it should be kept in mind that the definition of crime, the willingness to report crimes, and accounting measures may vary in different countries. Most common crimes in Taiwan Considering different types of crimes committed in Taiwan, excluding offenses against public safety, the most common crimes were drug and theft related. In contrast, the number of cases of murder and manslaughter were relatively low and comparable to other Asia Pacific countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. This is also due to the crime-clearing rate in Taiwan having improved considerably over the years and reached 97.1 percent in 2023.

This indicator is based on location of residence. Mortality rate has been age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. ICD 10 codes used to identify homicides are X85-Y09, Y87.1, and U01-U02. Single-year data are only available for Los Angeles County overall, Service Planning Areas, Supervisorial Districts, City of Los Angeles overall, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts.Violence is a public health crisis in the US, with gun violence being a major driver. Almost three quarters of homicides involve firearms. In the US, the age-adjusted homicide rate from firearms is more than 20 times higher than in the European Union or in Australia. Significant disparities by age, sex, and race and ethnicity exist, with young adults ages 15-34 years, males, and Black individuals most disproportionately impacted. Comprehensive prevention strategies should work to address the underlying physical, social, economic, and structural conditions known to increase risk.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

In 2024, around 12,315 people were imprisoned for assault or acts intended to cause injury in Australia. The figure has stayed above the 9,000 mark since 2017.

The following table, produced by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) provides information on rates, trends and patterns in domestic violence incidents reported to, or detected by, the NSW Police Force for the period of 2017/18. The data has been aggregated to location following the 2018 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) edition of the Local Government Areas (LGAs).

Domestic violence is a serious problem which impacts many NSW families. In 2012, an estimated 16.9 per cent of Australian women aged 18 years and over had experienced partner violence since the age of 15 years (ABS Personal Safety Survey 2012).

Rate calculations should also be treated very cautiously for LGAs that have high visitor numbers relative to their residential population. This is because rate calculations are based on estimated residential population and no adjustment has been made for the number of people visiting each LGA per year. For the rate calculations, specialised population data were prepared and provided to BOCSAR by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

For more information please visit the BOSCAR Portal.

Please note:

• AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.

• LGAs which have populations less than 3000 has been suppressed to maintain confidentiality. Original data values of "n.c." have been set to null.
