04 July 2011Australian Crime: Facts & Figures is an up-to-date snapshot of crime patterns and trends in Australia. It contains information on specific crimes, victims, offenders, the location of criminal acts and the operation of criminal justice systems - focusing on the work of police, courts and prisons.

This publication utilises data from both administrative and survey-based collections. In this 2010 edition, a section on cybercrime trialled in previous editions has been reintroduced to provide information relating to computer security. Further, this edition includes new and updated information derived from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data on federal defendants and crime victimisation. The reporting of monthly trend data from 1995 to the present for some specific crimes has ceased as a result of changes to the quality assurance process of the ABS.
