Footnote(s): (a) The fitted functions used to analyse patterns of change in victimisation rates over time have not taken into account the survey error associated with the annual victimisation rates. This is expected to have limited impact on the analysis, as only survey estimates with RSEs of 15% or less were included in the analysis. For further information on survey error refer to the Technical Note. (b) Fitted functions are: malicious property damage is a polynomial function with equation y = 0.0673x2 – 1.3423x + 12.337 R2 = 0.8999; other theft is a polynomial function with equation y = -0.0179x2 – 0.0798x + 4.4893 R2 = 0.8179. (c) Data for motor vehicle theft are not shown, as estimates for the number of persons experiencing motor vehicle theft in the 12 months prior to interview are subject to high sampling error (for further details refer to the Technical Note).
