The International Crime Victimisation Survey (ICVS) is a project involving approximately 60 countries, which interviews people about their experiences and perceptions of crime and the criminal justice system. Results provide a picture of the risk factors associated with personal and household crime, the level of repeat victimisation, public perceptions of crime and safety, rates at which victims report crimes to the police, and citizen engagement in crime prevention activities. The results of the 2004 ICVS suggest that, compared with the 2000 ICVS, rates of crime victimisation have declined in Australia.
