Current NT_crime_statistics_Jun_2025
This dataset contains counts of offences recorded by the NT Police, categorised by offence type, time period (month), location and (for assault offences) alcohol and domestic violence involvement. Certain types of offences show strong seasonal impacts and numbers show considerable monthly variation, particularly at the regional level. In April 2025, a new version of the Australian-New Zealand Standard Offence Classification (ANZSOC) was implemented in the Northern Territory, which is the standard to be used by all Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions. Key offence categories in the crime statistics, such as homicide, assault, sexual offences, robbery, burglary, theft, and property damage, are included in the new classification. No recorded offences have been deleted or created as a result of this process, but they may be reclassified, meaning they are reported in a different category. Thus, care must be taken when comparing the crime statistics in this time series with previously published time series. Since implementation of the SerPro data system in November 2023, it has been identified that entry of the data used for crime statistics generally happens later in the investigation process when compared to the previous PROMIS system. This means that monthly data takes longer to settle and may take several months to reflect the actual numbers of offences recorded by police. For this reason, the monthly crime statistics should be reviewed with caution and will be marked as provisional until data collection is substantially complete. There has been a break in the crime statistics time series following November 2023, due to the implementation of SerPro. This means that the statistics from December 2023 onwards should not be compared directly to earlier statistics.
