The Great Property Crime Drop: a Regional Analysis NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research Bureau Brief Issue paper no. 88 July 2013 The Great Property Crime Drop: A regional analysis Don Weatherburn and Jessie Holmes Aim: To describe and discuss regional variation between parts of NSW in the rate at which theft and robbery offences have fallen. Method: Percentage changes in rates of offending in robbery and various categories of theft were calculated for the period 2000 to 2012. Changes in the extent to which rates of crime across areas have become more similar were quantified by comparing the standard deviation in crime rates across areas in 2000 to the standard deviation in crime rates in 2012. Product moment calculations were used to measure (a) the extent to which areas with high crime rates in 2000 also had high crime rates in 2012 and (b) the extent to which areas with the highest crime rates in 2000 had the largest falls in crime in 2012. Results: The fall in property crime and robbery across NSW between 2000 and 2012 has been very uneven; being much larger in Sydney and other urban areas than in rural areas. The fall in theft offence rates ranges from 62 per cent in the Sydney Statistical Division (SD) to 5.9 per cent in the Northern SD. Similarly, the fall in robbery rates ranges from 70.8 per cent in the Sydney SD to 21.9 per cent in the Northern SD. In some areas some offences actually increased. The Murray, Northern, Murrumbidgee, North Western, Hunter and Central West SDs, for example, all experienced an increase in steal from a retail store. Conclusion: State Plan performance measures for improvements in public safety should take into account regional changes in rates of offending as well as changes in the overall volume of offending. Keywords: NSW, property crime, robbery, theft, rates, rural, urban, metropolitan Introduction The fall in theft and robbery is not specific to any particular kind of theft or robbery offence. As can be seen from Table 1, Between 2000 and 2012, New South Wales (NSW), along with there have been substantial reductions across the State in all most other Australian States and Territories, experienced a the major categories of robbery and theft. remarkable fall in theft and robbery1 offences2.

The first is the much higher robbery rate and much larger fall in the robbery suppressed. rate in the Sydney SD compared with all other SDs. The second Before we begin, it is useful to introduce two statistical terms is that, while most SDs experienced a fall in robbery rates, two which are used in this brief to help describe the trends in crime. The first term is the ‘standard deviation’. The standard Figure 2. Theft rate by Statistical Division and year (2000 and 2012) deviation of a set of measurements is the average variation 7000 around the mean of the measurements. To say that crime rates Sydney 6000 Illawarra across areas have a low standard deviation is to say those crime Hunter rates are clustered together or fairly similar. Equally, to say that 5000 Richmond-Tweed the standard deviation in crime rates across areas has fallen South Eastern 4000 North Western over time is to say that the crime rates across those areas have Central West 3000 become more similar to one another. Mid-North Coast Rate per 100,000 pop. 2000 Far West The second term is the ‘correlation coefficient’. This is a measure Murray 1000 Murrumbidgee of the extent to which two sets of measurements tend to be Northern 0 associated with one another (e.g. measurements of height and 2000 2012 weight). Correlation coefficients (or correlations) vary between Year +1.0 and -1.0. A correlation of +1.0 means that higher values on one measure are perfectly associated with higher values on the Figure 3. Robbery rate by Statistical Division and year (2000 and 2012) other measure. A correlation of -1.0 means that higher values 300 on one measure are perfectly associated with lower values on Sydney North Western the other measure. A correlation coefficient of zero means that 250 South Eastern there is no relationship between two measures. Illawarra 200 Murrumbidgee Correlations6 are used in what follows for two purposes. The Central West 150 Richmond-Tweed first is to determine whether areas which had a high crime Hunter 100 Northern rate in 2000 also had a high crime rate in 2012. The second is Rate per 100,000 pop.

  • City of Canada Bay Dramatically Improves Their Communications Capability with Microsoft Skype for Business and Enghouse Interactive Communications Centre
    City of Canada Bay Dramatically improves their communications capability with Microsoft Skype for Business and Enghouse Interactive Communications Centre City of Canada Bay is a council located in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia. In late 2015 the Council chose to deploy Enghouse Interactive Communications Centre and TouchPoint, integrated with Microsoft Skype for Business, as their customer service communications infrastructure across the entire Council. As a result, the Council dramatically improved their communications capability, and put in place a solution that will service them for at least the next ten years. Background City of Canada Bay is a Council within the Sydney metropolitan area, serving over 75,000 residents. Their legacy customer service communications solution had been in place for over nine years and had reached the end of its life-cycle. City of Canada Bay’s Information Systems and Customer Services teams decided to roll out a total solution across the entire Council, from top to bottom, to ensure all staff in the business benefited from the new communications infrastructure. In the contact centre, the customer services agents were only able to manage calls and could not service channels like webchat, which Canada Bay residents wanted to use to communicate with the Council’s contact centre. Also, the reporting functionality did not allow the managers in the Customer Services department to have any oversight on agents, and therefore were not able to identify where service improvements were needed. Council had explored the option of upgrading the legacy solution, but it was simply not an option. A full upgrade would still not provide all the capabilities and functionality that was needed, and even then, it would still not be a cutting edge solution, future- proofed to meet the Council’s needs in the years ahead.

  • Final Submission on Exhibition of Carter St Urban Activation Precinct
    Submission on Carter St Urban Activation Precinct Auburn City Council SUBMISSION PUBLIC EXHIBITION CARTER ST URBAN ACTIVATION PRECINCT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council appreciates the opportunity to comment on the exhibition of the proposed Carter Street Urban Activation Precinct (UAP). It is acknowledged that this exhibition follows a number of meetings with a Council working group, at which various issues were discussed. Some of the key issues in this submission have previously been raised by Council. In other cases, the exhibition gives Council the opportunity to view a number of more detailed reports for the first time, so many of the detailed comments have not previously been raised through the working group. Council supports a number of key aspects of the proposal. The inclusion of a primary school, community facilities and a new local centre to provide for the new residential area is supported. The retention of employment lands adjoining the M4 Motorway is also supported, as it recognises the role this land can continue to play, not only in providing jobs, but also in contributing to the productivity of this LGA. However, the planning for the Carter Street UAP needs to address the very low level of infrastructure available to support the local communities north of Parramatta Road within Auburn LGA. More information is also required to enable the development of a contributions plan. This will also require the involvement of SOPA. Council requests that the proposed 578m 2 community facility be increased to 1,000m 2 to meet the needs of the Carter Street community. The proposed increase in size is based on best practice and a dwelling occupancy rate that recognises the high average household size in Auburn LGA.

(2016). An ecological history of the Koala Phascolarctos cinereus in Coffs Harbour and its environs, on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, c1861-2000. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 138, 1-48. This paper focuses on changes to the Koala population of the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area, on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, from European settlement to 2000. The primary method used was media analysis, complemented by local histories, reports and annual reviews of fur/skin brokers, historical photographs, and oral histories. Cedar-cutters worked their way up the Orara River in the 1870s, paving the way for selection, and the fi rst wave of European settlers arrived in the early 1880s. Much of the initial development arose from logging. The trade in marsupial skins and furs did not constitute a signifi cant threat to the Koala population of Coffs Harbour in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The extent of the vegetation clearing by the early 1900s is apparent in photographs.
