This paper proposes a household survey module for a multi-dimensional poverty questionnaire which can be used to complement the available data on the incidence of violence against property and the person, as well as perceptions of security and safety. Violence and poverty are inextricably linked, although the direction of causality is contested if not circular. The module uses standardized definitions which are clear and can be translated cross-culturally and a clear disaggregation of different types of interpersonal violence (not including self-harm) which bridges the crime-conflict nexus.

Author: Rawnsley, Terry Title: Dynamics in Repeat Imprisonment: Utilising Prison Census Data Summary: One of the goals of any correctional system is to reduce the number of prisoners who are repeatedly imprisoned. A period of imprisonment may reduce an individual’s willingness to consider re-offending and therefore being imprisoned again. However, due to a number of underlying variables, a period of imprisonment may in fact increase the probability of future imprisonment. In this context, prisoners with multiple imprisonment episodes pose a problem worth investigating. This paper reports analysis of aspects of prisoners with multiple prison spells based on the Prison Census. The Prison Census extracts selected information from administrative data maintained by corrective services agencies in each state in Australia. The Prison Census collects social and sentencing information. Time series of micro data exist from 1993 to 2001. By combining the Prison Censuses across this period, a longitudinal dataset can be constructed. Analysis of this dataset can help explain the dynamics affecting individuals who are repeatedly imprisoned. This work is the result of a joint project between the Australian Bureau of Statistics Analysis Branch and the National Centre for Crime and Justice Statistics.

Author: Idaho Statistical Analysis Center Title: American Indian Crime in Idaho: Victims, Offenders, and Arrestees Summary: American Indians have the highest victimization rates of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States (Perry, 2004). Despite the unusual disparity in the vulnerability to violent victimization, the pervasiveness of American Indian crime is rarely reported or acknowledged. The focus of this report is on the prevalence, nature, and consequences of crime in Idaho involving American Indians as victims and offenders. A variety of resources were used to conduct this research. Information for crimes reported to the police comes from Idaho’s incident-based data for the years 2005-2011, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports for 2010, and crime data reported by tribal police for the years 2004-2009. Data also comes from a 2008 victimization survey conducted in Idaho. The findings reveal the existing disparity of the victimization and criminal activity of American Indians compared to all racial groups.

Author: Northern Ireland. Department of Justice Title: First Time Entrants to the Criminal Justice System in Northern Ireland 2011/12 Summary: The bulletin presents information on first time entrants (first offences) to the criminal justice system disaggregated by age, gender, offence category and disposal type for 2011/12. Key findings - There were 13,225 first time entrants (first offences) to the criminal justice system in 2011/12. Of these, 11.8% (1,564) were in the 10 - 17 year old age group and 31.2% (4,130) in the 18 - 24 year old age group. - First offences made up 32.3% of all offences in 2011/12. Of all first offences, 40.1% (5,309) were dealt with by way of diversionary disposal, compared to 59.9% (7,916) which were dealt with by conviction. - First offences accounted for 42.5% of all instances where a conviction or diversion was issued to the 10 - 17 age group. - First offences accounted for 51.3% of all instances where a conviction or diversion was issued to females in 2011/12. By comparison, first offences accounted for only 28.4% of all instances where a conviction or diversion was issued to males in 2011/12. - 51.8% of all first offences in 2011/12 were for Motoring offences. Of all instances where a conviction or diversion was issued for offences in that category in 2011/12, 41.2% were for first offences. - First offences accounted for 57.6% of all instances where a diversionary disposal was issued in 2011/12. People in the 10 - 17 year old age group were most likely (90.9%) to receive a diversion for a first offence. - First offences accounted for 34.4% of all instances where a monetary penalty was imposed in relation to a conviction or diversion in 2011/12. However, of all instances where imprisonment was imposed as a penalty in 2011/12, first offences accounted for only 5.6%. Details: Belfast: Northern Ireland Department of Justice, 2014. 20p.

Author: Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety Limited (ANROWS) Title: Violence against women in Australia: Additional analysis of the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Personal Safety Survey, 2012 Summary: This ANROWS research project provides substantial additional analysis of data collected in the Australian Bureau of Statistics' (ABS) 2012 Personal Safety Survey (PSS). The PSS is the most comprehensive quantitative study of interpersonal violence in Australia. The survey is administered by the ABS and funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. More than 17,000 women and men completed the 2012 survey. The PSS is currently a largely untapped resource - even the publicly available PSS data has yet to be fully explored and applied to the most obviously relevant research and policy contexts. The analysis completed in this project provides several hundred new statistical items related to violence against women, Almost all the data is new - not only has this information not be readily available to the public before, but the data tables themselves have not been generated previously.

Author: Bouchard, Martin Title: Proportion of Criminal Incidents Associated with Organized Crime Summary: The current report provides: 1) a measure of the proportion of criminal incidents that are associated with organized criminal activities (overall and for each offence type) in Montreal; 2) situates potential organized crime offenders within the wider population of co-offenders, that is, beyond the region under study and; 3) gauges the various types of resources allocated by law enforcement agencies in responding to and combating activities associated with organized crime. The estimates of criminal incidents associated with organized criminal activities are based on three different, yet complementary, models: 1) the wide net model (2 co-offenders); 2) the standard definition model (3+ co-offenders); and 3) the post hoc flag model (modified 3+ co-offenders). Each of these models is subjected to three different thresholds based on the seriousness of offences: A) none (all offences); B) broad (offences classified as serious plus "unclassified offences"; and C) strict (offences classified as serious). Depending on the model and threshold applied to data, the proportion of incidents that fit the definition of organized crime range between 1.6 and 6.9 percent for the first model; 3.9 and 22.8 percent for the second; and 0.26 and 2.93 percent for the third. It was found that roughly half of these organized crime (OC) offenders are connected to the wider provincial OC network in one way or another. Also, combining estimates across units with mandates to only combat OC and those that deal primarily with OC incidents, suggests that there are approximately 250 law enforcement officials at Service de Police de la Ville de Montreal (SPVM) who are directly involved in combating OC.

Author: Humphreys, Les Title: Understanding the crime drop in Scotland Summary: Key points - Overall trends in crimes and offences for Scotland from 1985 to 2012/13 show two distinct peaks, around 1992 and 2004; however, trends in four specific crime and offence groups vary widely. - Three potential explanatory factors correlated consistently with all or most of the four specific crime and offence groups, but otherwise there was no uniformity in the pattern of associations. - Factors which had emerged as correlates for several crime and offence groups were alcohol consumption, certainty of sanction and number of offenders in custody. - Looking at change over two shorter time periods we found that associations between potential explanatory factors and crime or offence groups were not stable and differed during different time periods. - Care needs to be taken when carrying out regression analyses on crime data because the potential drivers of crime may change very slowly and long term change is likely to be accompanied by short term volatility.
