Safety NSW and Victorian crime figures cannot be compared
NSW BOCSAR (Jan-Dec 2025) and CSA Victoria (year ending March 2026) record crime on different bases - police recording practices differ between states, so a count from one is not comparable to a count from the other. We do not place them side by side.
