Abstract
The National Armed Robbery Monitoring Program (NARMP) was established to fill
an information gap on trends and patterns of armed robbery in Australia,
especially in relation to changes over time in the use of specific weapons. The
2006 annual report is the fourth publication since the Australian Institute of
Criminology (AIC) began monitoring this offence in 2003. Building on previous
analyses, this report provides an overview of the 7,560 victims of armed robbery
and the situations, including the locations, which made them vulnerable to
victimisation.
