In 2009, 79% of police investigations into attempted murder and 74% into murder were finalised within 30 days of a victim becoming known to police (Table 2.8).
The lowest proportions of finalisations at 30 days were for victims of unlawful entry with intent (11%), motor vehicle theft (14%) and other theft (17%). These proportions are similar to those in 2008.
