Big reductions in vehicle crime, burglary,
robbery and the fear of crime, and improvements in police performance are some

cent since 2001/02.

cent since 2000; burglary by 27 per cent over the same period.
- Fear of burglary and vehicle crime has
fallen.
- Fear of violent crime has dropped from
22 per cent to 16 per cent since 2001/02.
- Between April and September 2004, more
than 6,000 people entered into drug treatment.
- Overall police performance is up.
- Confidence in the Criminal Justice
System is rising – the number of people that believe the CJS is effective in
bringing people who commit crimes to justice has risen from 39 per cent to 42
per cent.
