This is a summary of some of the more salient features of the findings of the New South Wales (NSW) Crime and Safety Survey over the last few years.
Abstract
The survey, conducted annually since 1990, collects information about experience of crime from a representative sample of about 6,500 NSW households involving approximately 13,000 individuals. The report includes victimization rates for break and enter, motor vehicle theft, robbery, assault and sexual assault. In addition, it describes the proportion of victims who told police about the last incident (by type of offense), victims of personal crime by age and gender, victims of household crime by household type, proportion of residents who did not perceive a crime or public nuisance problem in their neighborhood and proportion of residents who perceive household burglary, dangerous/noisy driving or youth gangs to be the main problem in their neighborhood.
