Overview

• Biannual Queensland Police data show a 5.7% per-capita decline in crime victims during January–June 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.
• Robbery fell by 13.2%, break-ins by 12% and car thefts by 6.4% according to the latest police report.
• Figures exclude the ‘other theft’ category, which accounts for 51% of property offences and nearly one‐quarter of youth offending, on methodological grounds.
• Opposition leader Steven Miles accused the government of cherry-picking data and removing offences that should count toward victim totals.
• Crisafulli maintains the narrower dataset focuses on direct victims and has ordered a review of the excluded category to address transparency concerns.
