ROBBERY

Robbery can have a negative financial, emotional and psychological impact on an individual's or a family's wellbeing. In 2008-09, 96,700 Australians (0.6% of people aged 15 years and over) were the victim of at least one robbery.

As with victims of assault, men are more likely to be victims of robbery than women. In the 12 months prior to interview, 0.8% of men were the victims of at least one robbery, compared with 0.3% of women. The chance of being a victim of robbery decreased steadily with age.
