The crime record of victims in Australia shows of irrational measures taken to counter different sorts of crimes experienced. With a relatively decreasing record of murder in the country, it is vivid that there is an alarming increase in number of sexual assault. Therefore, there are measures undertaken to reduce crimes but does not seem to stop all sorts of crimes mentioned. This signifies that there is a need to undertake relevant measures to stop all sorts crimes categorically. In this case, issues concerning sexual assault should be capitalized on to ensure that the graph reads a dropping record. As well, other sorts of crimes should not be left behind in this case. |

Basing on the Crime and Justice information under Domestic violence, it is evident that there is an alarming need for security. Importantly, this is based on a given individual in the community, women. The sexual assault seem to be a pressing issue which unfortunately seems to increase as time moves on. Basing on the information, the security seem to have been improved. Sadly, the security does not seem to cater to the sexual assault problems. The reason I selected this is because when other crimes seem to reduce, sexual assault is in the rise. Interestingly, there seem to be a wanting gap due to the unproportional information provided. |

To avoid misuse of funds, it is advisable to keep in mind that all processes must be transparent. Therefore, it is necessary to work with people who are not corrupt or greedy. As well, it is important to provide a receipt of any transaction conducted and a proof of transaction followed with the fund balance. Usage of funds must be approved by several top members to avoid misuse and squandering of finance. By so doing, this will guarantee that there is no misuse of funds at all.
