Australian social researchers have demonstrated an ongoing interest in investig ating economic, political and cultural difference between the states. The paper reports findings from an exploratory analysis of state differences in burglary victimisation in Australia. Using data from the 1993 National Crime and Safety Survey (NCSS), we investigate the extent to which some indicators of guardian ship and social integration account for variation in burglary victimisation, both within and across the five Australian mainland states. More generally, we comment upon the utility of the NCSS data for research on victimisation.
