Abstract: The report has five main sections. The first section presents an overview of major trends in recorded criminal incidents over the 2-year period from January 2005 to December 2006. The overview shows that over these 2 years, 1 of the 17 major offense categories, malicious damage to property, had increased, and "break and enter" for dwellings and nondwellings, "motor vehicle theft," and "steal from person" declined. Property crime in general has shown a downward trend since 2002, but with a reduced rate of decline. The report's second section presents the monthly data on recorded offenses. There are three tables in this section, one each for 2004, 2005, and 2006. Each table provides a total for the year and the annual rate per 100,000 population. The third section provides monthly data on alleged offenders proceeded by the type of process pursued. There are three tables in this section, one each for 2004, 2005, and 2006. The fourth section provides the number and proportion of cleared criminal incidents for selected offense types for 2004, 2005, and 2006. For each reporting period, the table shows the total number of recorded criminal incidents, the total number of incidents cleared, and the number and percentage of criminal incidents in which police began legal proceedings against at least one person. The fifth section of the report contains 36 tables, 1 for each major offense category. Each table presents the numbers and rates (per 100,000 population) of recorded criminal incidents for the periods January to December 2004, 2005, and 2006 for each of the New South Wales' Statistical Divisions and for each Statistical Subdivision in Sydney. 13 figures; 46 tables; and appended offenses included in classifications, maps, and local government areas in Sydney Statistical Subdivisions and regional Statistical Divisions
