An interactive data storytelling report exploring recorded crime patterns across Victoria using open data from the Crime Statistics Agency Victoria. Through five interactive visualisations created in R, the report examines historical trends, offence categories, differences between local government areas, changes in recorded offences, and geographical variations in offence composition. The analysis highlights why crime statistics should be interpreted beyond simple rankings.
