What these numbers mean

Mischief is a significant but not dominant category in Victoria's crime data, accounting for just over 10% of incidents. Its third-place ranking among eight categories suggests it is a persistent issue, though less frequent than theft-related crimes. The data spans a two-month window in 2026, making it too brief to identify trends. The 1000 Block of Douglas Street stands out with the highest count (15 incidents), but no single area dominates the totals. Without prior-year comparisons, it's unclear whether this is a typical pattern for Victoria.
