If you look at the bottom of the statistics report, it says that this does not reflect the real state of crime blah blah. This is obvious , isn´t it ?
To gauge real crime rates, see rates of murder, rape, burglary for a country, from the same website, NZ is nearly always in the safest few countries in the world !
BTW England has one of the lowest murder rates in the world, and a very low suicide rate, so we can´t be all that bad !

I have a lot of experience of Finland too - and there IS a lot of petty crime there too but that's probably because of the dark and the vodka.

Re: New Zealand not as safe as it's made out to be.
Incidentally NZ has been crying out for police from the Uk and other such countries so if you are one or know people who are, that's a way in! I am led to believe (by two friends who have done this) that a lot of the NZ police leave the force and take up private investigation work due to their lack of faith in the force - and PI work pays more, obviously!

I think the Dutch couple crime is a warning to visitors in Camping Cars, stay in recognized sites !

When my mum was a girl she lived with a nurse who always worked nights. It was a year before she discovered she wasn't a nurse at all!

In this day and age I suppose it is more than just careless to throw caution to the wind when abroad. (And my first name is careless!) I really do feel for the people who experience such a nightmare.

The Dutch couple crime in NZ is quite big news here in Belgium in the Flemish newpapers, i think the number of Dutch speaking visitors and migrants may reduced because of this. The journalists are even shocked it could happen in NZ

Re: New Zealand not as safe as it's made out to be.
Female police officers turning out to be prozzies? lol!! that's nothing.... the police are now knowingly recruiting cadets with pevious criminal convictions - a case of 'if you can't beat 'em join 'em' I guess!
Still it could be worse - the government could be paying out thousands of dollars in compensation for the 'assault' of drug addicted prisoners forced to undergo cold turkey whilst in the nick.
