The Northern Territory is sparsely populated, with the lowest population per square km of any state or territory in Australia (and one of the lowest in the world), which leads to the general feeling that you can do anything, and that nobody will be able to help you if something happens to you. On average 30 000 people go missing in Australia every year, some of which occur in this isolated area. [citation needed]

Case study: domestic violence - policing the "new crime" in the Northern Territory [Police in Australia] (6423 words)
Although the Northern Territory, in the past, has perhaps been quite slow in making changes in the field of policing domestic violence, Northern Territory Police now have every reason to be proud of the many achievements reached in a very short period of 18 months to two years.
The public education campaign, launched by the Northern Territory Government shortly after the announcement, is likely to have had an impact on domestic violence reporting behaviour and associated community attitudes, and thus has served to assist police in initiatives directed at improving police services for victims of domestic violence.
Northern Territory Police, particularly through the establishment and maintenance of a specialised Domestic Violence Unit, has demonstrated this commitment, and in cooperation with other government agencies, victim support agencies and the community, will continue to strive towards the minimisation of domestic violence.
