Robbery Victims — methodology

What this metric measures

Recorded victims of robbery (armed and unarmed) in Australia each calendar year (ABS Recorded Crime - Victims). Counts only - the ABS publishes no national robbery rate because some victims are organisations.

Why it matters: Robbery is a confronting street crime that shapes how safe people feel day to day, and its trend moves differently from property crime overall.
