Crime in Melbourne - Part 2
As previously noted on my blog, Crime in Melbourne is pretty non-existent. I keep getting traffic through search engines about this issue and here are a few points I would like to make:
- Assault type crime is lower in Victoria (of which Melbourne is the capital) is lower than the national average, even lower than in NSW, as per this.
- The last major scare in Melbourne city was 2007 CBD Shootings. It wasn't a terrorist type scare, nor was it organised or pre-planned.
- There aren't any street muggings, at least none are reported.
- Victoria Police have released their Crime stats here.
- While Footscray and some other areas used to be a problem earlier, they are much safer now.
- Late night train rides can be an issue with drunks and druggies creating nuisance for others, however, they do not interfere with others.
