​

• Q: Can I republish and/or share the visualisations featured on this website?

  • A: You are welcome to republish and share our maps and charts, provided you provide a reference to our website when doing so.

​

• Q: Where does the data come from?

  • A: The data used is sourced directly from the WA Police website (https://www.police.wa.gov.au/Crime) and the 2011 Census (http://www.abs.gov.au/census). Whilst every care is taken with the data, we make no claim nor hold responsibility for the accuracy of any data featured on this website.​

​​

• Q: What are the limitations of your data?

  • A: Given the 2016 Census data has not yet been released, Perth Crime Map relies on the 2011 Census to understand each suburb's population and the resulting Crime Rate. Consequently, Crime Rates are likely to be inaccurate for suburbs on the urban fringe that have experienced significant population growth since 2011 (e.g. Wellard).
