INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents state and territory statistics about incidents of victimisation for a selected range of offences that came to the attention of state and territory police, and were recorded in their crime recording systems during the period 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010. The statistics provide information about the characteristics of the victim and the nature of the criminal incidents.
Data for assault are not comparable across jurisdictions and therefore are not presented in this chapter. For information about assault, refer to Chapter 3 of this publication.
