As post Graduate students studying at Victoria University, we are writing this blog as part of our course fulfillment for Business Analytics(BCO6007), this has been a challenging yet intriguing experience and we acknowledge our unit Coordinator Paul Hawking and PARVES, Ahmed, the Lecturer for been there throughout the semester.
We have taken data from the NSW police force and NSW health statistics to help us analyze crime rate in NSW among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians using SAP LUMIRA which is a self-service business intelligence for business analytics. This allows users to access, connect and visualize data with ease. The Indigenous people are the original owners of the land also known as Aboriginals and are only 3% of Australians Population while non Indigenous people are migrants from country’s like Europe, America, Asia etc. who have come to settle in Australia.

This result shows how mental stress contributes to crime occurrence and which people seem to commit more of this crime. The non-indigenous people commit more crimes as shown than the indigenous people but one can also say that this reason could also be from the fact that only 3% of Australians population are Aboriginals.
Conclusively one can say, crime is almost inevitable in our society today ranging from domestic violence to murder, assault, kidnapping etc. These crimes occur in different forms and there is no exact solution on how to handle it, however there are recommendations on how to curb crimes.
This include:
- Safety and crime prevention plan
- Focus on hotspots
- Treat violence as a public health concern
- Been proactive
- Finding balance between repression and prevention
- Learning from history
For victims of crime, making decisions can be difficult and confusing. It is important to know how or where to get information and support. During this difficult time, it is vital that a victim is treated with courtesy, compassion and respect.
