This report presents data on crime reported to, or detected by, the NSW Police Force from January 1995 toDecember 2014, with a focus on the statistical trends for the 24 months ending December 2014. The datawere extracted from the Computerised Operational Policing System (COPS) of the NSW Police Force inFebruary 2015.

The report includes an overview of trends in the most recent two-year period for major offence categories,firstly for NSW and then across NSW regions broken down to the Local Government Area (LGA) level. At theState level, for the 24-month period to the end of December 2014 one major offence category has beentrending upwards: steal from dwelling (up 3.2%). Eight of the 17 major offence categories were trendingdownwards: robbery without a weapon (down 21.7%), robbery with a weapon not a firearm (down 14.5%),break and enter dwelling (down 3.8%), break and enter non-dwelling (down 12.8%), steal from motor vehicle(down 4.7%), steal from retail store (down 6.2%), steal from person (down 14.6%) and malicious damage toproperty (down 10.8%).

The front cover of the report is a Local Government Area (LGA) map showing variation across NSW in therates of possess/use amphetamines offences.

The NSW graphs for rates of violent and property offences are on page 7 of the report. For violent offences using the 12-month moving average (light grey line) we can see a downward path over the past five years and this can also be seen in the trend tests for the levels of reported offences in Table 1.1. The property offences graph using the 6-month moving average (light grey line) indicates a strong downward path since about 2000 to 2010, after which it stabilised before dropping again more recently. Table 1.1 for trend tests on the levels of property offences indicates a significant decrease over the last five years.

^ This table summarises the aggregate outcomes of statistical tests for significant upward or downward trends in the number of recorded criminal incidents inmajor offence categories over a 24-month period across all NSW LGAs with a population of 3,000 or more. The trend test used is Kendall’s rank-order correlationtest. A trend test was not performed if there were fewer than 20 incidents in either of the two years for the period in question, hence no trend tests for murder were calculated for this table. Tests ending in 2005 were carried out on 15 major offence categories (during this period assault was a single offence category).Tests ending in 2006 and later years were carried out on 16 major offence categories ( assault incidents separated into domestic violence related and non-domestic violence related). Assault Police incidents have been recorded separately from the two major assault series from 2008 onwards.

A result of ' . ' indicates either that there were no relevantoffences recorded in the LGA, or that the population is less than 3,000 people and no rate was calculated. Sydney LGA can be considered a special case since the population used to calculate the rate is much lower than the population using the area for work and entertainment and this willbe reflected in higher incident rates.

* The ratios given for the offence of murder are calculated on the number of victims, not incidents, and must be treated with caution since for LGAs with relatively small populations a single murdervictim will result in relatively high ratio to NSW rate.

APPENDIX 1: TRENDS IN RECORDED CRIMINAL INCIDENTS FOR NSW

[1] Irrespective of how trends in recorded crime are presented, their interpretation is a difficult task. The recordedcriminal incident data presented in this report are based on information derived from the NSW Police Force ComputerisedOperational Policing System (COPS), so only those incidents which are reported to, or detected by, police are included.The trends in recorded crime shown in this report will, therefore, reflect movements in the underlying factors whichinfluence the detection, reporting and recording of crime, as well as changes in the true level of crime in the community.

[2] An alternative measure of the level of crime in Australia is available from crime victim surveys, for example thenational Crime Victimisation Survey by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)1. As well as providing an estimate of thevictimisation rate at the State level for a selected set of offences, this survey estimates the proportion of crimes which arenot reported to police, and are therefore not recorded in the official statistics. In particular, personal crimes, such asassault and robbery, are less likely to be reported than crimes which involve households. Given that some offences havelow reporting rates, it is possible that changes in recorded crime rates over time for these offences may be reflectingchanges in reporting rates. This ABS publication contains personal and household summary crime data obtained from anational survey, much of which is disaggregated to state level.

[3] Public willingness to report crime, however, is just one of the extraneous factors which can affect trends in recordedcrime. Shifts in policing policy can also have a marked effect on the number of recorded drug offences, cases of offensivebehaviour or of receiving stolen goods. Therefore, for these offences, recorded rates probably do not accurately reflectactual rates. For this reason, the more detailed comparisons of crime rates and examination of trends in this documentare restricted to offence categories which are more likely to be reported to, rather than detected by police.

[4] The interpretation of trends in official reports of crime can be considerably more difficult than the interpretation oftrends in unemployment or inflation statistics. The ease with which recorded crime statistics can be misunderstoodcreates a temptation to offer an authoritative explanation for each major crime trend. Indeed, in many instances it issimply impossible to state with any assurance why a particular trend has appeared. As such, this report confines itself toidentifying and describing trends in recorded crime, rather than explaining them.

[5] For each offence category or subcategory (except murder), a statistical test for trend was applied to the monthlynumbers of recorded criminal incidents over the relevant period. In the case of murder, the statistical test for trend wasapplied to the monthly numbers of victims over the period. The trend test used was Kendall’s rank-order correlation test(see, for example, Conover, W.J. 1980, Practical Non-Parametric Statistics, 2nd ed, John Wiley and Sons, pp 256-260). Atwo-tailed test was used to determine whether there had been an increasing or decreasing trend in the recorded numbersof criminal incidents over the relevant period covered in the report. Some month to month variations in the numbers ofrecorded incidents could be due in part to seasonal factors. The test for trend is not sensitive to seasonal variations; it issensitive only to a generally increasing or generally decreasing trend over the time period examined.

[6] For the trend tests throughout this publication, where a statistically significant trend was found (p < .05 ), the extent ofthe trend is indicated by percentage change in the total number of recorded criminal incidents between the latest twoconsecutive 12-month periods for 24-month tests; and the average annual percentage change between the first 12-monthperiod and the latest 12-month period for tests over longer periods. A trend test was not performed if there were fewerthan 20 incidents in any of the years for the period in question. The result ' . ' indicates that a trend test was notperformed. A non-significant test result (p > .05 ) is denoted by ‘Stable’ or by 'ns' in some larger LGA tables.

[7] In order to present an overview of crime trends in NSW the information in Section 1 relates to aggregate violent andproperty crime. The State graphs for violent and property offences are plotted as monthly rates2 per 100,000 population.The State graph for violent offences shows distinct seasonality and the 12-month moving average (light grey line)indicates a downward path over the past five years, whilst the property offences graph and the 6-month moving average(light grey line) both indicate a strong downward path since about 2000. Violent offences include: murder, assault -domestic violence related, assault - non-domestic violence related, assault police, robbery without a weapon, robbery witha firearm, robbery with a weapon not a firearm, sexual assault and indecent assault / act of indecency / other sexualoffences . Property offences include: break and enter dwelling, break and enter non-dwelling, motor vehicle theft, stealfrom motor vehicle, steal from retail store, steal from dwelling, steal from person, stock theft, other theft and fraud .

[8] The ratio to NSW rate statistics are a comparison of a NSW regional rate per 100,000 population to the NSW rate per100,000 population. A ratio of one indicates parity with the NSW rate. Ratios indicating double the NSW rate (or more)before rounding are highlighted in red, whilst ratios indicating half the NSW rate (or less) before rounding are highlightedin yellow.

APPENDIX 2: DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATORY NOTES

·

·

A criminal incident is defined as an activity detected by or reported to police which: ······

falls into one offence category;

The classification of offences in this report is broadly based on the Australian and New Zealand StandardOffence Classification (ANZSOC) devised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS 2011, third edition,Cat. No. 1234.0 ).

For all type of offence classifications used in the report, Appendix 3 lists the offence categories included inthe classification. The original offence incident categories are those used by the NSW Police Force and donot necessarily correspond exactly with offences as defined in legislation.

involved the same victim(s);

OFFENCE CATEGORIES

The data in this report are extracted from the NSW Police Force's Computerised Operational PolicingSystem (COPS). This system is used for record-keeping for all police operations, not just for criminalmatters. In this report:

the counting units are recorded criminal incidents rather than recorded offences (except for murderand manslaughter, where the counting units are victims); and

the data are categorised by date of reporting to police (or date of detection by police) rather than bydate of occurrence of the offence.

RECORDED CRIMINAL INCIDENTS

involved the same offender(s);

falls into one incident type (for example, ‘actual’, ‘attempted’, ‘conspiracy’).

One incident may involve two offenders assaulting the same victim. This would be recorded as one assaultincident. Alternatively, suppose a man reports to police that he found his neighbour in the process ofdamaging his car and, when confronted, the neighbour assaulted him. For such an event, two criminalincidents are recorded because two distinct offence types are involved (malicious damage to property andassault) even though the same parties were involved at the same time and in the same place.

For murder and manslaughter only, the counting units used are victims. Under the definition of a criminalincident (same parties, same time, same place, same offence and same incident type) one murder ormanslaughter incident could involve two or more persons being killed. Because of the seriousness of theseoffences and their relatively small numbers, it is considered to be more appropriate to count the number ofvictims, rather than the number of criminal incidents. Hence, where one murder incident involves a personkilling six people, six murder victims are counted.

RECORDED VICTIMS

occurred at the one location; occurred during one uninterrupted period of time;


APPENDIX 2: DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATORY NOTES continued

Police may proceed against alleged offenders through a variety of legal or other processes. Most allegedoffenders are referred to the NSW Criminal Courts. The more serious offences are dealt with by way of a BailCourt Attendance Notice (CAN) or a No-Bail CAN. In these instances, the alleged offender is arrested, takento a police station, fingerprinted and the details of the person and all charges are recorded. Alternatively aField CAN may be issued by police at other locations. A Future CAN is used for less serious offences. Dueto the time lag between the incident being recorded and the Future CAN being issued, data for the last threemonths are likely to be low and subject to future revision.

Some alleged offenders are proceeded against but diverted from the criminal court system. For many minoroffences police can issue Infringement Notices. By paying the prescribed penalty the offender avoids havingto go to court. Under the Young Offenders Act 1997, a juvenile offender can be issued with either a warning,a caution or referred to a youth justice conference.

Each offender or alleged offender appears only once in the table for each event. Note that multiple criminalincidents may be associated with a single event. The processes are arranged in a hierarchy with theoffender or alleged offender appearing in the most serious category where multiple incidents are involved.For example if an event involves two incidents and the alleged offender is charged for one incident butreceives a caution for the second incident, the alleged offender appears only in the relevant 'proceeded against to court ' category.

Criminal incidents are included in the counting period in which they were reported to or detected by police.

In most cases criminal incidents are recorded on COPS on the day of reporting. However there may be sometime delay before the incident gains the status of accepted and verified (which are necessary conditions forinclusion in this report). It is therefore possible for some updating of data to occur. That is, data extracted fora specified period of time may differ according to the date of extraction of the data.

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ALLEGED OFFENDERS

Data on warnings under the Young offenders Act , is available from January 2010 onwards. Due to changesin how warnings are recorded, this data series can not be compared with warning data previously published.A youth justice conference is a face-to-face meeting between offenders, victims and their support persons.The offending behaviour is discussed and an outcome plan for the offender negotiated. Note that both thepolice and the courts can refer a young person to a youth justice conference. However, the number ofalleged offenders proceeded against by way of a youth justice conference, as shown in Table 4.1, includesonly police referrals to a youth justice conference.

In recent years some historic murders have been re-entered on the COPS system after being referred to theunsolved homicide squad. Murders that were first reported to NSW Police prior to the introduction of theCOPS system in 1995 but recorded on the COPS system in recent years are excluded from the statistics.Murders which took place prior to 1995 but were first reported to Police in or after 1995 are included in thestatistics.

COUNTING PERIOD

MAJOR OFFENCE CATEGORIES

Major offence categories include the most serious personal violence and property offences. The mostserious of these offences is murder for which the incident count is the number of victims. Assault offencesinclude the two major offence categories of domestic violence related assault and non-domestic violencerelated assault . All sexual offences are categorised by the two major offence types, either as sexual assaultor indecent assault, act of indecency and other sexual offences.

Robbery offences are sorted into three categories by use of weapon: robbery with a firearm, robbery with aweapon not a firearm or robbery without a weapon . The serious theft offences in this group start with theburglary categories of break and enter - dwelling and break and enter - non-dwelling followed by motor vehicle theft and steal from motor vehicle . Other theft offences included in the 17 major offences are steal from retail store , steal from dwelling , steal from person and fraud . The final property offence listed as amajor offence is malicious damage to property.


APPENDIX 2: DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATORY NOTES continued

······

there is an obstacle to charging, such as diplomatic immunity; the complainant or essential witness is dead and proceedings would be aborted; the offender is serving a sentence and police consider that no useful purpose would be served by prosecution.

The offence types included in these tables are those where the crime is likely to have been reported topolice, rather than discovered or detected by police. Offence types where the numbers of recorded criminalincidents are influenced by police law enforcement activity (drug offences, for example) are excluded. Forsuch offence types, the clear-up percentages are very high because clearing the offence generally occurssimultaneously with its detection (that is, an arrest is made when the crime is discovered). This reportcontains criminal incidents cleared within 30 and 90 days after the incident was reported to the NSW Police

For the rate calculations, population data were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics publication:Regional Population Growth, Australia, 2012-13 , Cat. No. 3218.0. As no population estimates were availablefor 2014 when this report was published, rates for 2014 were calculated using 2013 population estimates.

Because the data for this report were extracted in February 2015, the clear-up status after 90 days could notbe determined for any offences reported in the last three months of 2014. Hence, the clear-up data for 2014are for the first nine months of the year only.

REGIONAL STATISTICS

Statistics are provided on the number of criminal incidents (victims for murder) recorded for each of theStatistical Areas (SAs) of NSW as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Recorded criminal incidents which occurred in correctional, detention or remand centres, however, are notcounted in the SA in which the incident occurred. Appendix 4 provides maps indicating the location of eachSA. Appendix 5 lists the Local Government Areas (LGAs using 2008 boundaries) within each of the SAs.Note that LGA boundaries change from time to time. A criminal incident is counted within a particular regionwhen the location of the offence falls within that region.

A criminal incident is cleared other than by commencement of legal proceedings when, under normalcircumstances, a charge or information would have been laid against at least one person, but, for a variety ofreasons, police have been unable to make an arrest, despite knowing the identity of the offender and havingsufficient evidence to support a charge. Examples of situations in which an offence may be cleared otherthan by charge include the following:

the offender is a juvenile and is cautioned; the offender has died before a charge is made or information laid; the offender has been committed to a psychiatric institution and is unlikely to be released;

Note that in these tables, the year refers to the year in which the criminal incident or incidents were reported to police. For example, if an incident was reported to police in 2013 but the alleged offender was notapprehended and charged until 2014, the offence is counted for 2013. This section also includes a figureshowing trends over 24 months in methods of proceeding against offenders and alleged offenders whichlead to attendance at court. Alleged offenders who are not legally proceeded against are not included in thisreport.

A cleared criminal incident is one, which, in the view of police, has been satisfactorily cleared by thecommencement of legal proceedings or otherwise.

An incident is cleared by the commencement of legal proceedings when police have laid a charge or aninformation against at least one person. The information may have been laid with a view to the issuing of awarrant, Future CAN or other process for the purpose of bringing an offender before the court.
