Recorded Crime Monitoring Report – Rejected incidents - September 2011
Date published: 01 Sep 2011
Author: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research
Crime trends in NSW are based on crimes recorded by police and accepted by them as genuine. The trend in any offence can be affected by the percentage of crimes 'rejected' by police as not genuine. The Bureau monitors trends in the percentage of rejected incidents to see whether they could be affecting the trend in recorded crime. Where a significant upward trend in the number of rejected crime reports is detected, steps are taken to determine whether the police are complying with the NSW Crime Recording Standard.
