"New research released by the New South Wales Bureau of Crime Statistics and
Research (BOCSAR) confirms what many Australians may already feel: trust in
police is declining.
BOSCAR has been surveying NSW residents since 2007 and in releasing the 2026
data, the organisation states:
Confidence in the NSW criminal justice system has declined significantly
since 2019 across all measures, and is at the lowest levels since BOCSAR’s
survey began in 2007.
This comes just months after a 2026 Australian Productivity Commission report
found perceptions of fair and equal treatment by police has declined more than
20% in the past decade.
So why is this happening, and why does it matter?"
