Crime and justice statistics provide measures of the levels and effects of criminal activity, as well as people's perceptions of their safety. These are issues that impact directly or indirectly on the quality of people's lives, and are seen as key indicators of, and contributors to, the wellbeing of society. They are of value to users in government involved in policy development and decision-making, the administrators and practitioners within the crime and justice sector, researchers and the community as a whole.
