The average criminal offender in Victoria is most likely to be a man, about to turn 34 and hasn't been arrested for any other crimes in the past year.

He has a one in three chance of having been either the aggressor or victim in a family violence incident over the past year (33 per cent), and he's most likely to have been charged with property theft, breaching court orders, assault or property damage.

One in every 33 Victorians has been a victim of crime this year. They are slightly more likely to be male (56.2 per cent) than female, and their average age is 39. The vast majority of them (91.8 per cent) will be the victim of only one crime in the 12 months, rather than repeat offences.

Thanks to new data released by the Crime Statistics Agency on Thursday, it is possible to stitch together a portrait of Victoria's criminal trends.
