The OP on this thread was raising this issue.....only to get shot down.

Surely people should also have this type of information and not simply the 'fluffy' bits.

....and where I live in the UK does not have more violent crime than Adelaide.....that is a silly generalisation.

The fluffy bits..... should we be talking about crime then.

The op miss lead it . as if it was the norm.
Thats what this is about . Its not the norm, is it.

The Norm is be straight with people, coming over to live.
Issues, wages , cost of living , house price rise Trade cert's
But Crime is not a issue

Not Good enough in my opinion, and definitely not good enough for my children. s8it sticks for a reason, and this is no different.

I can only ask why, and the answer is not palatable

I have no confidence in them. And I am not willing to risk a hair on any of my children's heads to prove them right.

Please make informed decisions when migrating. This included "gangs" such as Elite Hallett Cove, which was involved in a street brawl with police last weekend after its members gatecrashed a party at Seacliff.

Members of Elite Hallett Cove yesterday told The Advertiser they were predominantly Hallett Cove residents who had formed a gang to defend the suburb from attacks by rival youths.

One Year 12 student said people can join the gang if "they're hard enough, can prove themselves and have a reputation".

"It's been going for ages," he said.

"If a mate gets in trouble just for living in Hallett Cove, so Hallett Cove people start to back up each other and it goes from there. The Seaview people do the same thing."

Another member, 14, said he joined the gang after moving to Adelaide's southern suburbs about four years ago.

"You'll always have back-up and it's the thrill of getting in trouble with the cops," he said.

"People have been bottled, put in hospital, it's mainly at parties and on the street."

Det Supt Bray said local police stations were concentrating on groups such as Elite Hallett Cove while the Crime Gangs Task Force was focusing on the street gangs involved with bikies.

Their crimes have included violent robberies across the northern suburbs, where people have been bashed or stabbed while using ATMs or as their cars have been stolen.

The youths then have used the vehicles to commit armed hold-ups at service stations, pizza bars, video stores and hotel bottle-shops and gaming rooms, where staff are threatened with knives and other weapons. Det Supt Bray said police were becoming increasingly concerned about the youth gangs – and their propensity to use violence.
