	Case study: domestic violence - policing the "new crime" in the Northern Territory [Police in Australia]
		Although the Northern Territory, in the past, has perhaps been quite slow in making changes in the field of policing domestic violence, Northern Territory Police now have every reason to be proud of the many achievements reached in a very short period of 18 months to two years.
		The public education campaign, launched by the Northern Territory Government shortly after the announcement, is likely to have had an impact on domestic violence reporting behaviour and associated community attitudes, and thus has served to assist police in initiatives directed at improving police services for victims of domestic violence.
		Northern Territory Police, particularly through the establishment and maintenance of a specialised Domestic Violence Unit, has demonstrated this commitment, and in cooperation with other government agencies, victim support agencies and the community, will continue to strive towards the minimisation of domestic violence.

	Crime in the Northern Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Northern Territory of Australia has the highest level of crime per capita of any state or territory in Australia.
		In spite of this, the Northern Territory has no known organised crime, and the majority of crime is alcohol related or in relation to issues surrounding indigenous Australians.
		The Northern Territory is sparsely populated, with the lowest population per square km of any state or territory in Australia (and one of the lowest in the world), which leads to the general feeling that you can do anything, and that nobody will be able to help you if something happens to you.

		Crime groups emanating from the former Communist countries of eastern and central Europe and the republics of the former Soviet Union pose a deadly threat internationally as the number of crime syndicates rises steadily.

		Shortly before I arrived in Melbourne, a 15-year-old Aboriginal boy in the Northern Territory was sentenced to 28 days in jail for stealing a few dollars worth of goods.
		Citing a spate of property crimes and general lawlessness, the state of Western Australia and the territorial government of the Northern Territory enacted mandatory sentencing laws in the mid-1990s.
		The boy was an Aborigine, as are 73 percent of Northern Territory inmates (Aborigines represent 27 percent of the territory's population).

		These are the sorts of results that this government wants for the Northern Territory - for the community to be safe, and feel safe and secure in their homes, and we want criminals apprehended and dealt with appropriately by the criminal justice systems.
		I have no doubt that a number of unsolved crimes, ranging from unlawful entries on houses through to the most horrific offences against the person, may be solved and the offenders brought to justice.
