BIRTHPLACE AND RELIGION
This article examines the relationship between the birthplace of migrants to Australia and other personal characteristics to determine whether knowledge of country of birth can act as a proxy for other characteristics. The relationship between religion and country of birth is examined as an example.

This article considers such issues as:

- Are migrants' language skills a factor in victimisation?
- Is the sex or age of migrants related to the risk of victimisation?
