Source(s): Crime Victimisation, Australia ENDNOTES 1 Data for non face-to-face threatened assault, robbery, sexual assault, and motor vehicle theft in the Australian Capital Territory are not discussed as there is a high relative standard error (RSE) associated with the estimated number of victims who experienced these offences in the Australian Capital Territory (see Data cube 1, Tables 2a and 3a). 2 All comparisons discussed have been tested for statistical significance with a 95% level of confidence that there is a real difference between the two populations being tested. Only data with a relative standard error (RSE) of less than 25% is referred to in the text of this publication. For further information, refer to the Technical Note. 4 This number is not published in the accompanying tables, but can be obtained by dividing the number of victims of a selected crime type by the relevant population total (in this case, the total population of people over the age of 15 in Australian Capital Territory).
