ACT CRIMINAL JUSTICE STATISTICAL PROFILE DECEMBER 2017

KEY HIGHLIGHTS SUMMARY

The ACT Criminal Justice Statistical Profile's Key Highlights Summary presents a summary table and charts on offences and other measures related to the latest Ministerial Direction for ACT Policing. Included are:

• all offence divisions included in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Offences (ANZSOC, 2011);

• data from the Restorative Justice Unit, the Office of Children, Youth and Family Support and ACT Corrective Services;

• selected data from data sets on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Victims of Crime, Alcohol and other drugs andDomestic and Family violence.

The number of offences for particular crime types may demonstrate large changes from quarter to quarter or year to year. The interpretation of these changes should be made in context of the data on which each summary chart is based. References to the source table in the Profile are included in both the summary table and the charts. Trend lines are only included if statisticalsignificance is indicated by a Kendall rank‐order correlation test. Trend lines may not be included if they make the chart difficult to read. For further information on the use of the Kendall rank‐order correlation test, please see the Explanatory Notes.
