| Definition: | The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) classification for standard offences. |
| Classification structure: | The ANZSOC is a classification with three levels: Divisions (the broadest level), Subdivisions (the intermediate level) and Groups (the finest level). At the divisional level, the main purpose is to provide a limited number of categories that provide a broad overall picture of offence types, that are suitable for the publication of summary tables in official statistics. The subdivision and group levels provide increasingly detailed dissections of these categories for the compilation of more specific and detailed statistics. The structure of the ANZSOC is illustrated below. Level Example Division 10 Illicit drug offences Subdivision 101 Import or export illicit drugs Group 1011 Import illicit drugs There are 16 divisions within the ASOC with codes numbered 01 to 16. The divisional structure for the third edition of ANZSOC is as follows: Division Title 01 Homicide and related offences 02 Acts intended to cause injury 03 Sexual assault and related offences 04 Dangerous or negligent acts endangering persons 05 Abduction, harassment and other offences against the person 06 Robbery, extortion and related offences 07 Unlawful entry with intent/burglary, break and enter 08 Theft and related offences 09 Fraud, deception and related offences 10 Illicit drug offences 11 Prohibited and regulated weapons and explosives offences 12 Property damage and environmental pollution 13 Public order offences 14 Traffic and vehicle regulatory offences 15 Offences against government procedures, government security and government operations 16 Miscellaneous offences |
