What do you expect from a country started with criminals as the main population.
Lock doors??
Lock doors??
It looks like much of those crimes have actually declined since 2000 so gj. http://www.police.wa.gov.au/AboutUs/pdf … pendix.pdf (Page 5)

Ok, ill take a stab at it. Good topic. BTW
I know close to nothing about Oz crime TBH. Seeing as NZ and Oz are both topping the lists. Could it be that the people that our committing the crime are the indigenous population who have been oppressed through the decades and who have been, over the years fenced off into suburbs of the major cities, with no real employment, hope or prospects? Turning to crime.....perhaps??
Another explanation could be that Oz and NZ have allot of faith in their police forces, so they actually report crime. I have been robbed on more than one occasion, had my car smashed up several times and been threatened with death, but never reported any of it, as I (up until lately) had absolutely no faith in my police force. Same is true of almost everyone I know.

You have to take into account that more things might be counted as a crime there. Anti social behaviour in Britain is probably the largest crime, by that i mean chavs get fined and given asbos all the time, increasing the amount of "crime" committed.

Because it's Australia. It's populated by the descendants of the contents of british prisons around the time it was discovered.
Around 60% of NZ's prison population are Maori/other Pacific islanders, but they only make up about 20% of the population here (80% european descent). If I got robbed, had my car smashed etc I'd definitely report it, as without a police report I couldn't claim insurance.JahManRed wrote:

Get rid of meth and you'll see our crime rate drop.

Wow, now I don't want to move there. I thought it was a cool place, but with crime like that, no one should live there. Also look how the UK is higher than the U.S. too.

Yep... Australia was founded by criminals. They also happen to have a criminal as their prime minister, but you could say we have a criminal president as well.
Remember that Australia's got a much higher proportion of foreigners (non Anglo-saxon descendents from convict days) than other countries. In fact, a Muslim Cleric recently got in hot water for saying something like that in public over here.Jello.01 wrote:

It's very important to read carefully, on the defintions section this is what it reads" "
Definition: Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence.
This will go a long way to explaining why Australia is at the top of a couple of these lists.

True but if you also look Australians are reporting it on 50 percent of the time. That is below a good portion.<BoTM>J_Aero wrote:

There is more crime in places like the USA. I'll bet my left testicle on it. Our cops just own.
Mcminty.
I dunno. I would definitely report my car being stolen here in the states. Do you honestly think it's likely that people wouldn't at least report a crime such as car theft or burglary?klassekock wrote:

I don't think that would be the case, as all of these crimes would be recorded when they are reported to the police. Car theft is not going to be left out of those statistics just because the police haven't solved the crime yet. Same for burglary and robbery.klassekock wrote:
This is most interesting figures. My theory to Australias high crime rate is that they have an excellent police force. They simply solve many crimes, thus it shows in the statistics. Or, I may be completely wrong. It's up to Bubbalo to correct me when he wakes up. I also see that Sweden is a top ten in some figures.
Hmmmm........disturbing.
And ts_pulsar. I have another theory for you to consider.
Could it be that australians are more eager to report crime simply because they have faith in the Law enforcement?
Perhaps us Aussies have a higher percentage of people with insurance, and are more reporting...Yes Major Spittle I'm swedish. Very observant of you.
