VICTIMISATION (see Datacube 1, Table 1) In the 12 months prior to interview in 2012–13, Australians were more likely to experience threatened assault than any of the other selected personal crime types. They were also more likely to experience physical assault than either robbery or sexual assault. Of the 18.4 million people aged 15 years and over in Australia, an estimated:
Footnote(s): (a) The total number of victims of a crime in a given population, expressed as a percentage of that population. Source(s): Crime Victimisation, Australia REPORTING TO POLICE (see Datacube 1, Table 1) The proportion of victims who reported the most recent incident of each type of personal crime they experienced to police varied depending on the type of crime. The reporting rates for victims who experienced physical assault and robbery were higher than the reporting rates for victims of face to face threatened assault and non face-to-face threatened assault. The reporting rate for sexual assault has been excluded from this discussion as there is a high relative standard error associated with this estimate (see Datacube 1, Table 1a). In 2012-13, an estimated:
Footnote(s): (a) The total number of households that had the most recent incident of the household crime reported to police, expressed as a percentage of all households experiencing the household crime. The incident may have been reported by any member of the household or another person. (b) The estimated reporting rate for sexual assault has a relative standard error of 25% to 50% and should be used with caution. Source(s): Crime Victimisation, Australia EXPERIENCE OF MULTIPLE VICTIMISATION (see Datacube 2, Table 6) Table A (below) provides a summary of the number and proportion of victims who experienced a single incident compared to multiple incidents of each type of selected personal crime within the 12 months prior to interview.

ENDNOTES 1 All comparisons discussed have been tested for statistical significance with a 95% level of confidence that there is a real difference in 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. 2 Due to the relatively small numbers of persons experiencing two or more incidents of robbery in the 12 months prior to interview, these estimates are subject to high sampling error and as such have not been included in the analysis (for further details refer to the Technical Note).
