Show Notes
New Australian Bureau of Statistics data reveals a concerning trend: nearly 400,000 Australians experienced physical assault in the past year, with men and women facing similar rates. Women were more likely to be assaulted by known individuals, while men often faced strangers. Threats of assault were even more common, affecting over 600,000 people. Sexual assaults also remained prevalent, with women making up the majority of victims. Despite these numbers, only a small percentage of incidents were reported to police. Meanwhile, property crimes continued to decline, with break-ins and thefts dropping significantly. Experts attribute these trends to economic and environmental factors, while groups note the overwhelming demand for sexual assault services.
