The ACT Criminal Justice Statistical Profile (the Profile) is a historical series of crime data that is compiled twice a year by the Legislation, Policy and Programs Branch (LPP) of the ACT Justice and Community Safety Directorate and then tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
The profile contains data from the following agencies:
The Profile provides Government, community agencies and the public, with data on varying levels of crime in the ACT and the responses to crimes by the criminal justice system.
In 2013, LPP completed a review of the content and presentation of the Profile. The webpage 2013 Consultation Review provides a summary of the review findings and a link to the review report.
The latest six monthly Profile is available below. Key highlights for the quarter are found in the Key highlights summary - September 2016 [PDF 5.18MB]. Email alerts are available when each Profile is released if you register interest in the Profile.
For more information on the Profile, see the Profile's Statement of Purpose and Explanatory Notes - September 2016 [PDF 3.93MB] or contact LPP on 6205 4786.
Note also that there are many other sources of ACT criminal justice data, including ACT Policing’s Crime Statistics web site (contains crime by location), the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Australian Institute of Criminology.
ACT Policing Tables
ACT Policing (ACTP) Table 21 reports 5 year trends on all Criminal Infringement Notices (CINs), which are on the spot fines for various misdemeanours, many related to public order offences and alcohol or other drug consumption. This table presented incorrect data in the September 2015 Profile and was not provided in the March 2016 Profile. ACTP and JACS have reviewed the data for ACTP Table 21 and both agencies are now satisfied with the quality of the data on CINs.

Data for the Galambany ‘Circle Sentencing’ Court is being internally reviewed and will not be released in the September 2016 Profile.
