In the provinces:
	Overall, housebreaking was perceived as the most common crime across all provinces, with the exception of the Northern Cape, where assault was perceived as occurring most.
	comparison between actual victimisation and the crimes perceived as most common reveals that three of the five crimes perceived as most common  in fact are amongst the most frequently experienced crimes (housebreaking, theft of personal property and theft of livestock).  This suggests that the public perception of crime in South Africa is relatively closely aligned to actual experience.
