The ABS is currently conducting a survey to investigate the number of household break-ins, attempted break-ins, personal robberies and assaults, motor vehicle thefts and sexual assaults that have occurred in the 12 months prior to the survey. Also to be investigated are the proportion of incidents reported to police, Neighbourhood Watch Programs and perceptions of crime problems. The results from this survey are due to be released in December of this year. For further information contact Julie Young on (02) 9268 4497.
