Between 1995 and 2001 the annual incidence of crime increased for all offences, including robbery (64% increase) and assault (39%). It should be noted, however, that people's perceptions of crime and media representations of its extent and threat do not always correlate with the actual crime rate. What are the most common crimes, where do they occur, who commits these offences and who are the most at risk of being victims?
