Scarborough is a shithole - needs some TNT redevelopment

I admit to not reading all of the replies to date, but has anyone mentioned that it might be the poms committing all the crime?

There's an advert on local radio here, for those requiring the services of a lawyer, and it always seems to be some 'cockney' bloke what's in strife.

There is crime in the outer northern suburbs more so than SOR. The media do make things worse Perth isn't that bad.

Must be "Arrold Steptoe"

or" Dell Boy"

Re: Violent crime escalating in Perth
 

Are you absolutely sure about that? Compare these stats from http://www.police.wa.gov.au/Aboutus/.../Default.aspx:

There are stats for other Perth districts, I've just chosen one NOR and one SOR for comparison.

Re: Violent crime escalating in Perth
 

In fairness Helen, everyone needs to look at all the stats. As youve said they are only a couple but they are NW and SE and I think the East is significant. If you look at the South stats the numbers are really low (this isn't Mandurah as there is a Peel result too).
Also straight West is very low.

Re: Violent crime escalating in Perth
 

NW Metropolitan is a massive area though compared to South and this will obviously highlight a difference.

Personally I think there is crime everywhere in Perth, some areas worse than others. It is about keeping your wits about you and keeping your family and property as safe as you can.

Woodvale tavern - must be English migrants no Aussies go there. That's what happens when they let in the riff raff working class Brits.

I went there once, I think I was the only one not wearing a soccer shirt.

Re: Violent crime escalating in Perth
 

Still, I suppose you still fitted in OK with your Dockers shirt?

Not me, I'm not into sport much. I did see Peter Bell shopping at Whitfords yesterday though, (former Dockers captain).
