1. Major offence categories include the most serious personal violence and property offences. Of the 17 major offence categories, only those that Council can assist in preventing are presented.
2. The LGA ranking is the comparison of the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA against 120 LGAs in New South Wales that have a population higher than 3,000. Note that a higher number indicates a better ranking for that offence.
3. Domestic violence and sexual offences are under-reported offences in New South Wales. An increase in this offence category can be viewed positively as it demonstrates both positive and proactive work undertaken within the community.
4. The Canterbury-Bankstown LGA is ranked lower than the New South Wales state average.
