- Summary:
-
This study examines the impacts of missing persons on the Australian community through a representative survey of families and friends of 270 people reported missing to police, interviews with families of people still missing, and consultation with a wide range of government departments, non-government organisations, community groups, and individuals with an interest in missing person issues. It examines statistics from police in each State and Territory and from the three non-police tracing services in the study - the Salvation Army, Australian Red Cross and International Social Service which show that about 30,000 people are reported missing in Australia each year. The majority, approximately 28,500, are reported to police, and 99.5% are located, usually within a short period.
