Prepared for the Community Crime Prevention Unit, Victorian Department of Justice by the Australian Institute of Criminology.

Recorded crime - victims, Australia, a publication from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, presents national crime statistics relating to victims of a selected range of offences that have been recorded by police. In 2003, a decrease in the number of victims was evident for most types of crimes, in particular unlawful entry with intent (UEWI), motor vehicle theft and other theft. Between 2001 and 2003, the number of victims of motor vehicle theft has decreased by 29 per cent, down from a peak of 139 894 victims in 2001 to 98 813 victims in 2003.

Society's response to use

Estimating the extent and cost of computer crime is a critical task for government and industry to ensure that responses are appropriately focused, and that scarce resources are most cost effectively employed to combat the problem. While the sampling method is limited and the results cannot be used to estimate the overall nature, extent and cost of computer crime in Australia, the Annual Computer Crime and Security Survey is an important source of information about trends among those surveyed.

Nominations are now open for the 2022 Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards (ACVPA). Now in the 30th year, the ACVPA recognise and reward good practice in the prevention or reduction of violence and other types of crime in Australia.

Today the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), in partnership with the Attorney-General the Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP and state and territory police commissioners will celebrate the Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards (ACVPA). 

The ACVPA recognise best practice in the prevention or reduction of violence and other types of crime in Australia and play a vital role in highlighting effective community-based initiatives to prevent crime and violence before it actually occurs.

Nominations for the 2025 Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards (ACVPA) have been extended.

Programs to prevent and reduce violence often adopt a public health approach to crime prevention. Such an approach does not replace criminal justice or other crime prevention approaches. Rather, it complements them by bringing a different view and other important players, tools and resources to the task of preventing and reducing crime.
