"The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research is often asked whether crime increases over the Christmas and New Year period. In response to these enquiries, we have carried out an analysis of crime statistics for selected offences. Figures 1 and 2 below show the average number of criminal incidents recorded by NSW Police occurring on each day from 18 December to 14 January. The averages were calculated by considering data from four consecutive years, 2002/03 to 2005/06. We have only considered incidents where an incident date was recorded by Police.1 Figure 1 shows the daily average number of personal crime incidents and Figure 2 shows the daily average number of property crime incidents."
