- W209813144 abstract "In Australia, knives are used during armed robberies at between 2 and 3 times the level of firearms. Furthermore, in terms of offence categories, armed robbenes accounted for the largest (proportional) increase in recorded crime between 1997 and 1998. Many people think gun when they think of armed robbery and, to date, this has been the focus of most research into armed robbery. This paper brings together new data on robbery, and noting the strong presence of knives, is a spnngboard for the analysis of containment strategies. We often look overseas for research contexts. In North America, firearms are involved in between 60 to 65 per cent of all armed robbenes. Within the Australian context, however, firearms are involved in less than 30 per cent of all armed robberies. These figures mean that use needs to be viewed as a critical issue and collaborative work undertaken to contain use. This paper is a first step in that process. Adam Graycar Director The relatively limited attention given to specific weapons used in armed robbery has significant implications for justice system policy development. However, any detailed examination of exactly what weapons are typically used for armed robberies is complicated by inconsistencies in how weapons are legally defined across jurisdictions. Quite apart from the ubiquitousness of use, the definition of what actually constitutes a is surprisingly complex. For example, under the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998, New South Wales specifically cites the type of knives in this category as the flick ballistic sheath Urban Skinner push dagger, trench butterfly and star knife. In contrast, under the Cnmes (Amendment) Act (No. 2) 1998, the Australian Capital Territory defines a as a blade, a razor blade, and any blade. In states such as Tasmania, specific instruments are not identified; rather, overall definition of offensive is used. An offensive is defined as an article made or adapted to be used to injure or incapacitate a person or intended for that use by the person possessing it. The only national data on the use of weapons than firearms come from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), which uses the categories of firearms, other and weapon not further defined. The ABS classifies knives under other which comprise any instrument or substance, than a firearm, capable of inflicting damage, injury, or death. This includes knives, sharp instruments, blunt instruments, hammers, axes, clubs, iron bars, pieces of wood, syringes, and like instruments. While these data are obviously essential with respect to the cataloguing of national trends, the category of other is so broad and expansive, it presents real challenges to more sharplyfocused analyses of the weapons used during armed robberies. The solution is further complicated by the fact that police data do identify specific weapons, and the particular classifications used differ from state to state. Victoria identifies whether the weapons were a rifle or replica, shot gun, pistol, tool, or club, baton, or stick, amongst others. In New South Wales, the weapons classification includes bow, crossbow, or blowgun, club, iron bar, or pipe, hammer, spanner, or wrench, rifle, shotgun, and syringe, amongst others. In South Australia, the categories include bottle or glass, club, baton, or stick, pistol or replica, rifle, and airgun, amongst others. These different classificatory schema are even more divergent when it comes to the classification of knives. For example, while the Victoria police use the specific category of in their recorded offences, the New South Wales police use the categories of knife, sword, scissors, and screwdriver, and South Australia uses the category of knife or machete. …" @default.
