Abstract
Australia’s homicide rate has continued its overall downward trajectory in the latest crime data released last week.
In fact, in 2020-21, Australia recorded the second-lowest number of homicides since the Australian Institute of Criminology began compiling national statistics in 1989.
How does Australia compare with other nations? And do our perceptions of crime match the reality of Australia becoming a generally safer place to live?
