VIC CSA - Family Violence - Family Incident Rate (LGA) July 2013-June 2018

This dataset presents the footprint of the rates of family incidents retrieved from Victoria Police. The data spans the financial years in the period of July 2013 to June 2018 and is aggregated to 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Local Government Areas (LGA).\n\nThe Victorian Family Violence Database is a repository for a range of different datasets relating to family violence clients and service use, extracted from the data holdings of a variety of government agencies.\n\nThe rate of family incidents per 100,000 population is calculated using the count of family incidents recorded in a LGA and the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) of that LGA. The rate is calculated using the following formula: Family Incident Rate = (Number of Family Incidents/ERP count) x 100,000. ERPs are based on populations provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).\n\nFor further information about this dataset and related statistics, visit the data source:[Crime Statistics Australia](https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/family-violence-data-portal/explanatory-notes-definitions#Victoria%20Police).\n\nPlease note:\n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the [original data](https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/family-violence-data-portal/family-violence-data-dashboard/victoria-police).\n\n * The data contains information collected by Victoria Police on the L17 Risk Assessment and Risk Management Report. \n\n * To maintain confidentiality, person-based counts with a value of 3 or less are given a value of 2 to calculate totals.\n\n * Data was extracted from the Law Enforcement Assistance Program (LEAP) on 18 July 2018.\n
