Victim Numbers for Offences Against the Person in Queensland, Monthly from 2001

Victim data for offences against the person in Queensland, Australia, collected by the state police. The dataset provides monthly counts starting from January 2001, with the last update recorded for July 2026. One person may be counted multiple times, so the data does not represent a unique victim count.
