Notes:	This report presents the results of a telephone survey of 7,738 Queenslanders over the age of 15 conducted in April and May 2000. Respondents were asked about the three most recent incidents of six types of offences occurring in the previous twelve months : robbery, assault, sexual assault, break and enter, attempted break and enter and motor vehicle theft. Comparisons are made between the results of this survey and those of the ABS Crime and Safety Survey as well as the data recorded by the Queensland Police. A profile of victims is given which includes risk indicators for personal offences, household offences and an analysis of repeat victims. An examination of crime incidents includes location of incidents, the use of weapons, number of offenders, occurrence of physical injury, actions of offenders and relationship of offender to victim. Respondents were also questioned on whether incidents were reported to police and what factors may have influenced the decision. Illustration is provided to show that females aged 35-44 years experience a high proportion of repeat assault victimisation which may be attributed to domestic/family violence. In examining the relationship of offender to victim it is noted that females are more likely to be assaulted by a family member than males and the assailant is more likely to be a primary member of the family. An examination of assault by partners or ex-partners is also provided.
