The statistics provide information about the characteristics of the victim and the nature of the criminal incidents. Depending on the type of offence, a victim in the recorded crime collection can be a person, a premises, an organisation or a motor vehicle. A person reporting a crime with multiple offences in the same incident may either be counted multiple times, or may be counted only once, depending on the types of offences committed during the incident. For example, a victim who was robbed and abducted in the same incident would be counted separately as a victim under the offences of robbery and kidnapping/abduction. Conversely, a victim of multiple assaults in the same incident would be counted only once as the offences committed fall within the same offence group. For these reasons, it is not meaningful to aggregate the number of victims across each offence type and produce a 'total number of victims'; it is only meaningful to look at victim counts within each offence category.This release presents national statistics on incidents of victimisation for a selected range of offences that came to the attention of state and territory police and were recorded by them in the period 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008.&rft.creator=Australian Bureau of Statistics &rft.date=2009&rft.coverage=Australia&rft_rights=&rft_rights=Commonwealth of Australia 2009&rft_subject=STUDIES IN HUMAN SOCIETY&rft_subject=Crime&rft.type=dataset&rft.language=English Access the data
