Victoria's overall crime rate fell by 3.8 per cent in the 12 months to the end of June 2026.
Home invasions, carjackings and robberies all fell by more than 20 per cent according to the Crime Statstics Agency.
Victoria Police said the fall was promising but that more work needed to be done.
Youth crime has dropped in Victoria as the state's record crime rate continues to fall, new figures show.
The latest crime data, released today, reveals that in the past year to June, the state's crime rate dropped by 3.8 per cent.
Youth offending decreased by 8.1 per cent in that time.
While police say crime in Victoria remains "unacceptably high" at more than 13 per cent higher than three years ago, several crimes decreased.

A report published today by Victoria's Sentencing Advisory Council found prison terms for crimes such as murder rape and were getting longer.
