Abstract
This atlas illustrates the incidence and prevalence of crime in the statistical local areas of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. The maps show the spatial pattern of five major crimes in Australia, namely armed robbery, unarmed robbery, residential break and enter, non-residential break and enter, and motor vehicle theft. Together, these five crimes contribute about half of the recorded crimes that are published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. It illustrates the relationship between crime prevalence and a number of socioeconomic characteristics of the statistical local area within each of the states.
