(b) what were the rates of all different types of crime in the Perth CBD and the Fremantle CBD in that 10 year period?
Given the changes to reporting practices and offence classifications, comparable data is only available from 1998. Statistics are provided at Attachment A. LGA boundaries do not precisely align with Police boundaries. The data provided relates to Police Service Sub-Districts. See Attachment B for suburbs covered by each Police Sub-District.
