DDDDDEFINITIONS

AND EXPLANATORY NOTES

On 1 March 1993 Victoria Police implemented the LawEnforcement Assistance Program (LEAP) state-wide.The LEAP data base is fully relational and storesparticulars of all crimes brought to the notice of police aswell as family incidents and missing persons. It alsoincludes details on locations, vehicles and personsinvolved. The database is on-line and updated constantly,24 hours a day.

A copy of the LEAP database is downloaded each nightfor use by various areas of the Victoria Police to producecrime statistics and conduct data analysis.

All data relating to crime, family incidents andmissing persons presented in this publication forthe 2003/04 fiscal year has been obtained from thedownloaded version of the LEAP database on18th July 2004.

CRIME COUNTING AND CLASSIFICATION

Offences Recorded:

Consist of those offences recorded on LEAP between1 July 2003 and 30 June 2004 regardless of when theoffence occurred or when it was reported to police (over85% of all offences are recorded on LEAP within 48 hoursof being reported to police).

Caution should be exercised when interpreting recordedcrime statistics. Only those offences which becomeknown to police and for which a crime report has beencompleted are included in this publication.

Counting Rules:

Victoria Police uses three methods of counting crimedepending on the particular offence. For all crime againstthe person, and most crime against property, the counting

unit is the number of principal victims for each separateoccurrence of the offence (e.g. two persons are assaultedby three offenders - two offences of assault are recorded).For offences against statute such as possess and usedrugs, the number of alleged offenders is the countingunit (e.g. three offenders are found in possession ofcannabis - three offences of possess cannabis arecounted). For a small number of infrequent offences,such as piracy, the event itself becomes the countingunit, that is, one offence is counted for each incident ofpiracy.

Only the most serious offence which best describes adistinct course of criminal conduct is recorded in officialcrime statistics, even though an offender may be chargedwith other offences resulting from the one incident (e.g.an offender carrying a firearm commits an armed robbery– only the offence of armed robbery is recorded althoughthe offender would be charged with armed robbery andpossession of a firearm).

The number of distinct courses of criminal conductoccurring within an incident will generally be one unlessthere is a break in time and/or location. For example, ifan offender presents three valueless cheques to a telleronly one offence would be recorded but if the threecheques were presented at different times or at differentbranches then three offences would be recorded.

Offences Cleared:

Refers to all offences recorded on LEAP which haveresulted in: one or more alleged offenders beingprocessed for the offence, or an investigation revealsno offence occurred, or the complaint was withdrawnor the perpetrator was known but for legal and otherreasons could not be charged (e.g. under age ordeceased).

2003/04 Victoria Police Crime Statistics6

Single Year Clearances:

The number of offences recorded between 1 July 2003and 30 June 2004 which were cleared within the sameperiod. They are also represented as a proportion of thetotal offences recorded. Offences cleared within this periodwhich had been reported in earlier reporting periods areshown separately and not included in the single yearclearances.

Charges:

Refers to the total number of charges laid againstoffenders. These include secondary offences which arenot included in the recorded figures for offences.

For example, two offenders each carrying a firearm,assault a customer during the course of an armedrobbery. This results in charges of possess firearm,armed robbery, robbery, theft, and assault being laidagainst each offender. The number of offences countedin the recorded figures for offences however, would beone offence of armed robbery. The number of chargestherefore, will be considerably higher than the number ofreported offences and the number of offenders.

Table 1.3 includes a column showing the number ofcharges laid.

Note that for a variety of reasons, offenders may not besubsequently presented before a court on all chargeslaid at the time of their apprehension.

Offence Categories:

There are in excess of 4000 individual statutory andcommon law offences recorded on LEAP which havebeen grouped into 27 broad offence categories. Thesecategories are further subdivided into four generalclasses of “Crime Against the Person”, “Crime Against

Distinct Alleged Offenders:

Individual offenders are only countedfor the first offence for which they are processed in thefiscal year. Demographic profiles are based on age, sexand other personal details as recorded on the firstoccurrence on which they were processed during thefiscal year. A person’s age is based on their age as atthe date they committed their first offence.

Victims:

Victims of crime are classified as either persons,businesses, statute or other depending on the natureof the offence. Victim profiles presented in thispublication are based on those victims recorded aspersons only. Victims who are victimised on more thanone occasion are counted for each occasion.

of comparisons with pre 1993/94 official crimestatistics. The specific changes are:-

Reported Rape and Sex OffencesIn 1993/94 the Victoria Police adopted the rule of countingthe number of rape and sex offences reported per victimfor each and every distinct course of criminal conduct(e.g. a person raped on ten occasions over a six monthperiod is counted as ten offences). Prior to 1993/94 onlythe number of victims was counted regardless of thenumber of distinct occurrences (e.g. only one offencewould be counted).

Reported Possess and Use Drug OffencesTo comply with the counting rule that only the mostserious offence which best describes a course of criminalconduct be counted, in situations where offenders arefound in possession of drugs and admit their use, onlythe offence of possess drugs is generally countedwhereas prior to 1993/94 both the offences of possessand use were counted.

Reported Assault (Police) and Resist ArrestPrior to 1993/94 the offences of assault police and resistarrest were each counted in instances where bothoffences were committed. To comply with the mostserious offence which best fits the distinct course ofcriminal conduct rule, only the offence of assault (police)is now counted.

Clearance RatePrior to 1993/94 clearance rates include crimes clearedfrom previous reporting periods.

Updated StatisticsDue to the addition of supplementary information toexisting records, and changes resulting from qualitycontrol checks, crime statistics obtained from LEAP mayalter slightly over time. Clearance numbers are particularlyprone to change following the processing of offenders,

Association of Victim to Offender:Refers to the association existing between the Victimand the Offender and is shown in Section 9 (Table 9.2).The categories used are explicit except the following:Neighbour:Co-resident;Neighbour.Gay/Lesbian Domestic Partner:Gay Partners; Lesbian Partners.

Missing Data:

Values for data items used in victim, offender, selectedoffences, family incidents and missing persons profileswhich are recorded as unknown or where no value isrecorded are shown as “Unspecified” in all tablespresented in this publication.

FACTORS IMPACTING REPORTED AND

CLEARED CRIME

Following a review of crime counting and classification ofoffences to coincide with the implementation of LEAP, anumber of changes have occurred in the way crimeis classified and counted and will affect the validity

often months or even years after a crime is recorded. Forthis same reason, 1996/97 to 1999/00 figures in thispublication may vary slightly from those published inprevious Victoria Police Crime Statistics publications.

Offences by PostcodeBecause of changes made to the LEAP postcode table,crime figures for the area of Wendouree (3355) publishedin the Victoria Police Crime Statistics 1994/95publication, for 1993/94 and 1994/95, are recorded underthe postcode of Ballarat (3350). Similarly, crime for GoldenSquare (3555) and Eaglehawk (3556) were recorded underthe postcode for Bendigo (3550).

Licensing OffencesIn March 1996 the Victorian Government enactedlegislation enabling offences under the Liquor Control(Further Amendment) Act to be dealt with by the way ofPenalty Notices. As LEAP reports are not submittedwhere a penalty notice is issued, there will be aprogressive decline in the number of licensing offencesrecorded in official crime statistics obtained from LEAP.

Change in the Definition of Aggravated BurglaryA change in the definition of aggravated burglary cameinto effect on 1 September 1997. Prior to this, aggravatedburglary was defined as a person committing a burglarywho at the time had in their possession any weaponsor explosives (including imitations). The new definitionis a broadening of the previous one with the additionrelating to whether a person was present in the buildingat the time of the burglary. It also requires that theperson committing the burglary must have known thata person was present or was reckless as to whether ornot a person was present. This means that someburglaries are now being recorded as aggravatedburglaries. This change has increased the number ofrecorded aggravated burglaries and as such cautionshould be exercised when making comparisons withprevious years.

COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS YEARS

As indicated earlier, care should be exercised incomparing post 1993/94 crime statistics with previousyears.

Figures used for 2003/04 in this publication for year toyear comparisons are those extracted from LEAP on 18July 2004 and may differ slightly to those previouslypublished in the Victoria Police Crime Statistics 2002/03 publication, which were extracted from LEAP on 18July 2003. This is due to the LEAP data base beingupdated with supplementary information.

Offender Statistics

Offender statistics published in the Victoria Police CrimeStatistics 1993/94 publication were calculated accordingto the date the alleged offenders were processed. Due tothe time lag between when an alleged offender isprocessed and when they are recorded on LEAP, offenderstatistics were liable to change significantly over time.To minimise this effect, offender statistics from 1994/95onwards were calculated according to the systemgenerated date (charge date) created when a chargerecord is added to the LEAP data base.

However, due to multiple charges being laid againstoffenders on more than one occasion, for offencesarising from the one incident, offender statistics havebeen calculated based on the first charge date for eachincident.

Please note that figures shown in Appendix A of the1995/96 publication should be used for comparisonpurposes and not those published in the 1993/94 and1994/95 Victoria Police Crime Statistics publication.

Property Damage Offences

Between July 1993 and June 1996 an offence categoryof Criminal Damage was included under the heading of“Crime Against Property” and comprised the indictableoffences of Criminal Damage in the Crimes Act only.During this period the summary offences of Wilful Damagewere classified under the heading of “Other Crime”. FromJuly 1997 the indictable offence of Criminal Damageand the summary offence of Wilful Damage have beencombined to form the offence category of PropertyDamage under the heading of “Crime Against Property”.Care should be exercised when referring figures underthe headings of “Crime Against Property” and “OtherCrime” in the Victoria Police Crime Statistics publicationsfor the years of 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96.

Other Crime

Between July 1993 and June 1996 the heading of “OtherCrime” included the offence categories of Drug (Cultivate,Manufacture and Traffick), Drug (Possess and Use),Other Indictable and Other Summary offences. FromJuly 1997 the two drug offence categories were removedfrom this heading and grouped to form a new heading of“Drug Offences”. Furthermore seven new offencecategories were created under the heading of “OtherCrime”. The new categories are: Going Equipped toSteal, Justice Procedures, Regulated Public Order,Weapons/Explosives, Harassment, Behaviour in PublicOrder and Other. These were previously classed asOther Indictable and Other Summary offences. Careshould be exercised when referring to figures under theheading of “Other Crime” in the Victoria Police CrimeStatistics publications from 1993/94 to 1996/97.

Please note that "Racial Appearance" is based on the subjective assessment of attending police and is recorded primarily for operational purposes only. Extreme care should be exercised in the

interpretation of statistics on ethnicity as "Racial Appearance" is one limited indicator of ethnicity based on appearance only and does not necessarily mean that the persons attributed to a

particular ethnic group are in fact o f that origin. Similarly, statistics published elsewhere in this publication on Country of Birth provide another, but limited, indicator of a person's ethnic

background.

ALLEGED OFFENDERS PROCESSED BY OFFENCE CATEGORY & RACIAL APPEARANCE, 2003/04

Table 4.4Please note that “Racial Appearance” is based on the subjective assessment of attending police and is recorded primarily for operational purposes only. Extreme care should be exercised in the interpretation ofstatistics on ethnicity as “Racial Appearance” is one limited indicator of ethnicity based on appearance only and does not necessarily mean that the persons attributed to a particular ethnic group are in fact of thatorigin. Similarly, statistics published elsewhere in this publication on Country of Birth provide another, but limited, indicator of a person’s ethnic background.

MISSING PERSONS RECORDED BY AGE GROUP, 2003/04

Please note that “Racial Appearance” is based on the subjective assessment of attending police and is recorded primarily for operational purposes only. Extreme care should be exercised in the interpretation ofstatistics on ethnicity as “Racial Appearance” is one limited indicator of ethnicity based on appearance only and does not necessarily mean that the persons attributed to a particular ethnic group are in fact of thatorigin. Similarly, statistics published elsewhere in this publication on Country of Birth provide another, but limited, indicator of a person’s ethnic background.
