Another relevant factor might the return of a large number of 501 deportees over the last few years and the influence they might be having on some types of crime...
Not denying the crime is happening or even up, based on the stats you linked, but it is certainly helpful if one looks to understand how and why...
That's an excellent point; it would be interesting to see how many returnees have been involved in crime since their arrival. Sending people here who've had very little or no experience living here & few if any friends or family was always going to cause problems for this country.
And was somewhat ironic in view of Australian history.
But the the old 'lock 'em up & throw away the key' brigade either don't understand that it doesn't work or know - & just don't care.
