The podcast discusses the importance of understanding crime through data and statistics. The crime rate in Australia has decreased overall, but the rate of juvenile delinquency has increased.

Psychological education and a strong legal system are necessary to reduce domestic violence. In Queensland, although the frequency of criminal activities has increased, the number of individuals involved in crime has decreased. In China, the violent crime rate has significantly decreased in the past five years, but the government may be underreporting the actual crime numbers. Overall, the crime rate in China is decreasing. Hello everyone, welcome to today's Polk Talk. As we all know, crime is getting more and more attention all over the world. Yes, in recent years I have seen more and more news and affairs about crime than before, which shows that the government and society attach importance to it. Crime is really an important issue nowadays. Our topic today is crime by the numbers. First, let's briefly explain what crime by the numbers are. Crime by the numbers mainly use data and perspectives to understand the criminal phenomenon and the trend around the world in recent years. Is there anything special about this podcast? I think this podcast is an objective and comparative scientific data which supports crime prevention and social policy by collecting and analyzing crime data. Recently, the crime rate in Australia has shown a downward trend. According to Australian government statistics, the overall criminal rate has decreased in the past few years. I also researched the crime statistics of China. In recent years, the crime rate in China has been declining as well. When I heard the news about crime, the first thing that came to my mind was the case about juvenile delinquency. Yes, I also think juvenile delinquency is a problem that needs to be taken seriously. Did you find any relevant information on the internet? When I searched online for relevant information about Australia, I found that compared with last year, the juvenile crime rate in Australia was rising sharply. The rising data is still not objective. What data have you collected about juvenile delinquency? According to the latest data from the Bureau of Crime Statistics, the crime rate of teenagers has surged by 18.2 percent. Especially, the crime rate of children aged 10 to 14 has increased by 37.3 percent. And the case with the highest proportion are mainly property crimes and personal attacks. And the data should be paid attention to by the government. Oh, that's a really shocking data. Has the government made any changes according to this phenomenon? Well, they can. An Australian youth justice spokesman indicated that the government should pay more attention to this incident and make corresponding solutions in time. Therefore, the government should increase specialized mental health services for teenagers and attach importance to education and guidance programs for teenagers to reduce crime rate. My topic about crime is domestic violence. The impact of domestic violence is not only between couples, but also related to children and even life. According to a survey, how many people in Australia have experienced domestic violence? According to a survey, 2.3 million Australians have experienced domestic violence from their current and former couples. Wow, that's amazing data. And I feel very sorry. Yes, here is a news article about domestic violence. A 37-year-old man has an intimate mother and a fifth wife while their two children were at home. This will be the shadow of their childhood. What are some ways to reduce domestic violence? In order to reduce domestic violence in Australia, the government must carry out extensive psychological education campaigns to identify and eliminate mental health problems. At the same time, the government should formulate a perfect and appropriate legal system. Yes, I agree with you. The criminal statistics of Queensland in recent years show that the serious criminal rate in Queensland is rising. But the statistics show that the number of criminal offences is decreasing. This shows that although the frequency of criminal activities may increase, the number of individuals involved in criminal has decreased. The crime rate is gradually decreasing, which is a good thing. Yes, generally speaking, the crime rate in Australia is on the decline, but there are still some challenges. What do you think of the crime rate in China? In China, according to the reports from Global Times, the violent crime rate in China has plummeted in the past five years and become one of the lowest crime rate countries, as stated by China's Supreme Procuratorate. In 2022, the number of people prosecuted for serious violent crimes proportions only 3.9%, which is a significant decrease compared to 25% in 1999. China is now one of the countries with the lowest crime rate. What is the reason behind this? According to the reports from World, the Chinese government has closely reported the crime statistics. The Criminology Expert Board's report has pointed out that the Chinese government has underreported the actual data for crime numbers. In Guangzhou, China, the crime numbers reported by the government only count 2.5% of the actual crime numbers. That's really not a wise move. On the whole, the crime rate in China is still decreasing. Okay, thank you for listening. That's all for this talk-up. I'll see you next time. Thank you very much. Bye. See you next week.
