Summary

Aim

To examine alternative sources of crime trends in order to substantiate the information presented in the annual crime statistics reports. The analysis concentrates on those offence categories which comprise the 'index' crimes which are closely monitored by the NSW Police Service, namely assault, robbery, break and enter, motor vehicle theft, and stealing.
