Large Excel data files for researchers
The data files below are very large and are
suitable for researchers. They contain crime data recorded by the NSW Police
Force on their Computerised Operational Policing System (COPS). The six main
crime data sources available from BOCSAR as well as their relationships to each
other are displayed in this Recorded Crime Data Model. As the Model
shows, BOCSAR has data on the incident recorded by the NSW Police, together
with any victims, objects or vehicles involved in the incident and any persons
of interest causing the incident with any offences they may have been charged
with. Also included with the Model is a list of the data items available in
each of the data sources and the data items used to uniquely identify those
data sources.
Recorded Crime Dataset
The Recorded crime datasets contain information
on all criminal incidents recorded by NSW Police between January 1995 and
December 2017. The data is presented by offence type, month and Local
Government Area or suburb.
The dataset is provided in an Excel spreadsheet and compressed to download efficiently as a winzip file. For information about winzip files visit

Ranking dataset
The Ranking dataset contains information on
annual criminal incidents, rates per 100,000 population and ranks for
27 selected offences recorded by NSW Police between January 2013and
December 2017for each NSW Local Government Area.
Please note that each offence is displayed in a separate tab of the Excel workbook.
