a. 0 cells (0.0%) have

than 5. The minimum
expected cell frequency is
64.7.
Results:
By applying chi-square test it has been assessed that χ2 (2) = 20.79 respectively and p
value is 0.00 which is less than the standard such as 0.05 (Tanner‐Smith and Tipton, 2014). On
the basis of this, it can be stated that alternative hypothesis is true and there is significant
difference in values of crime reported.
Findings
Investigation outcome shows that crimes which are reported in the category of burglary,
threatening behavior and theft of motor vehicle are statistically different. Moreover, data set
given clearly presents that crime pertaining to threatening behavior reported during the specified
time frame accounts for 83. On the other side, crime related to burglary reported within the last
six months implies for 76. In contrast to this, activities related to motor vehicle theft occurred in
last six months were 35. Hence, by considering all such aspects it can be stated that in the last six
months undesirable activities which occurred more frequently in Fremantle are related to
burglary and aspect of threatening behavior.

Findings
Results of chi-square evaluation show that p value is less than0.05 (P <0.05) which in
turn shows that alternative hypothesis is true (Cronk, 2016). This shows that type of crime which
is being reported is statistically related to the gender of victim.

Results
From assessment, it has been discovered that highly significant or effectual relationship
exist between the reporting for different crimes and gender of the victim. Thus, political
authorities of Fremantle are required to develop suitable strategic framework to reduce the level
of crimes related to burglary and threatening behavior.
