RACV doesn’t “own” crime data; they package up Crime Statistics Agency Victoria figures into handy suburb guides and articles.

It’s useful for at‑a‑glance trends like burglary, theft of/from motor vehicles, and property damage, plus practical security tips.

For official, raw numbers and methodology, go straight to the Crime Statistics Agency (Victoria); RACV is a readable summary, not the ledger.

Use RACV’s material for context (and insurance common sense), then confirm anything serious with the CSA data—belt, meet braces.

If you’re comparing suburbs, look at rates per 100,000 people and longer trends, not one spicy quarter that made the news.
