Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Australia is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in per 100k; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. per 100,000 residents · ABS, Recorded Crime – Victims (4510.0, table 9), victims of homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping and robbery per 100,000 residents (assault is left out: the ABS publishes none for Victoria), calendar years · state or territory data · as of Sep 2026.
