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.

New Zealand NZ: Intentional Homicides: Male: per 100,000 Male data was reported at 1.381 Ratio in 2014. This records a decrease from the previous number of 1.531 Ratio for 2013. New Zealand NZ: Intentional Homicides: Male: per 100,000 Male data is updated yearly, averaging 1.531 Ratio from Dec 2000 (Median) to 2014, with 15 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 1.979 Ratio in 2009 and a record low of 0.911 Ratio in 2012. New Zealand NZ: Intentional Homicides: Male: per 100,000 Male data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s New Zealand – Table NZ.World Bank: Health Statistics. Intentional homicides, male are estimates of unlawful male 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.; ; UN Office on Drugs and Crime's International Homicide Statistics database.; ;

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. Violent crime has provided a major focus for the study of inter-personal relationships and a range of related research areas in the fields of history, criminology and sociology. However, somewhat surprisingly, the extent, character and 'meanings' of violence in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries have been relatively ignored. Yet during the period 1880 to 1920 prosecuted violent offences in magistrates' courts fell by over 75 per cent to their lowest ever level. Such statistics immediately provoke questions for social scientists. Can we accept that there was a seismic shift in behavioural norms across society? Alternatively, did governmental administrative/economic expediencies produce a 'mirage' of declining violence? Both theories have been advanced for the decline in homicide rates since the 18th century. This project uses a range of sources/methods to examine changes in real incidence and prosecutorial strategies, and, through study of cities in Australia and New Zealand, steps beyond English socio-cultural contexts to complete a truly comparative project which fully explores violent crime in the fin de siecle period. Main Topics: The data collection comprises details of violent offences from selected petty sessions jurisdictions in England, Australia and New Zealand. The offences include: common assault; threats and threatening behaviour; assaulting a peace officer; abusive, insulting and violent language; indecent assault; rape; manslaughter; malicious wounding; actual and grievous bodily harm; attempted murder; and murder. For each prosecution details are recorded on: the date of the proceeding; the offence; the sex of the accused and victim; related cases; relationship between accused and victim; whether it is a police or private prosecution; whether there was a summons or warrant of arrest; whether the offence was alcohol related; the age of the accused and the victim; whether a separation order was granted or not; the result of the proceedings; the penalty imposed if any; and the original plea if indicated. Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.
