QPS - Reported Offences Number by Division (Polygon) Jan 2001 - Aug 2018

This dataset presents the footprint of the number of reported offences in Queensland, by month. The data is aggregated to Queensland Police Service (QPS) Divisions and spans the years January 2001 to August 2018.\n\nFor further information about this dataset, please visit the [QPS - Division Reported Offences Number.](https://www.police.qld.gov.au/maps-and-statistics)\n\nPlease note:\n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled this data, using the [QPS Divisions](https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/qps-divisions).\n\n * Data is made available through a AURIN-QCIF-RIDL collaboration.\n\n * Care should be taken when comparing monthly statistics. For example, January 2014 compared with February 2014. A more accurate comparison would be obtained by comparing a longer time series, for example, one calendar year to the next, as this will account for seasonal variations.\n

请注意：
* AURIN（Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network，澳大利亚城市研究基础设施网络）已依托[昆士兰警察局警区数据集](https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/qps-divisions)完成本数据的空间化处理。
* 本数据集由AURIN-QCIF-RIDL合作项目提供发布。
* 进行月度统计数据对比时需格外谨慎，例如2014年1月与2014年2月的直接对比。若需获得更精准的对比结果，建议采用更长时间序列的对比方式，如两个完整自然年度的同期数据对比，此举可有效抵消季节波动带来的影响。
