Crime Statistics for calendar year ending 31 December 2006
A Summary of Recorded and Resolved Offence Statistics
released 2 April 2007
A new report, New Zealand Crime Statistics July to December 2005 and 2006 [17 page PDF, 208 K bytes], has been prepared to complement the publication of New Zealand's
official recorded crime statistics for the 2006 calendar year. It contains statistics for
the July-to-December periods within 2005 and 2006, and compares changes in
recorded crime between these periods. Summary statistics are provided at national
level and for each Police District, comparing recorded crime for the
July-to-December periods. A breakdown by Offence Category and Offence Class is
included.
This has been necessary because in June 2005 Police replaced the IT system it used
to record crime, causing a single step-change in recorded crime statistics from that
date. As a consequence, recorded crime statistics prior to this date are not
comparable with recorded crime statistics after this date. The regular reports published
by Police compare figures for the full calendar year which, for 1995, spans the date on
which the IT system was replaced. Comparison of 2005 full-year figures with those for
2006 will therefore not be appropriate.
For a fuller description of the impacts of the IT system upgrade in June 2005, readers
are referred to the report published in September 2006 by Axist Consulting New
Zealand Limited entitled "Understanding Recent Movements in Crime Statistics" [49 page PDF, 820 K bytes].
