NT Quarterly Crime and Justice Statistics, Issue 1: September 2002 11 3.2.6 Tennant Creek The small size of the population for this centre can result in large swings in offence data between quarters. The number of offences against the person in Tennant Creek was 45 in the September quarter 2002, representing an increase of 29% (10) from the June quarter 2002. The increase was due almost entirely to a 26% (9) increase in assaults. The total number of property offences in Tennant Creek fell by 20% (42) to 168 between the September and June quarters. The decline was largely attributable to decreases of 20% (14) in other theft, 52% (11) in UEWI-dwelling and 43% (9) in UEWI-other.
