The Australian Institute of Criminology’s annual compendium of crime statistics shows a continuing decrease in crime levels around Australia with some concerning trends in certain crime types. Facts & figures provides government and justice agencies, the media and the Australian public with accurate, easy to access crime statistics in a single, centralised location. The chapter eight Spotlight on Crime, Alcohol and Other drugs examines trends in alcohol and crime, including levels of use among police detainees and prisoners.
