WHAT'S NEW THIS MONTH

Topics which have been updated with new data in this month's issue of SA Stats include: Construction; Consumption; Housing Finance; Incomes; International Merchandise Trade; Labour Force; Price Indexes; and Water.

This month's SA Stats includes an article on crime and safety in South Australia. Feelings of safety and security are important determinants in the well-being of individuals and communities. Using data from a variety of ABS sources, this article presents a comparison of the perceptions of crime and safety that are held by South Australians with those of the broader Australian community and highlights some factors that have the potential to influence perceptions. Further, it examines the relationship between perceptions of safety and the actual incidence of crime in South Australia.
