Why postcodes?

Postcodes are how most people describe where they live, but police publish crime statistics by local government area (council), and in South Australia by suburb. Each postcode page maps the postcode to its suburbs and their council areas, so you can see the official figures without knowing which council you are in. Where a postcode spans more than one council, every one is shown.

Rates are recorded offences per 100,000 residents using ABS population. Recording practices differ between police forces, so compare across states with care.
