This data-driven story draws on the Crime Statistics Agency’s Unique Victims dataset (year ending June 2025) to explore how crime impacts different groups across Victoria. It traces the decline—and recent rise—in victimisation rates over the past decade, and then dives into who is most affected, highlighting stark age and sex differences. The narrative contrasts family-related incidents with other crimes and shines a light on the small but significant group of repeat victims. By linking counts to population and social context, the visualisations move beyond headlines to reveal deeper insights into the human side of crime.
