NZ reported crime drops to an all-time low ...
... per head of population since electronic records started.
Hey ... why not post something positive? Me being Mr Positive and all. Lol. I'm sure if it was a story regarding some 'worst' statistic in some field or another, someone would post it.

Re: NZ reported crime drops to an all-time low ...
It's reassuring to know that New Zealand is falling into line with international trends, it means things are being done properly and there is smarter policing.
It's an interesting report, worth the read if you want to be better informed about crime and punishment in New Zealand, it was published in March of this year so isn't out of date, yet.
Any guesses as to what Garth McVicar will think of the latest reported crime stats?
The Crime Rate is Falling
New Zealand, like most western democracies, is experiencing a declining crime rate

New Zealand is not unique. There has been an international downward trend in crime rates since the 1990’s.
Crime is falling across most Western countries:
United States: crime has been falling since 1991
Australia: in an on-going crime decline since peaking in 2001
Scotland: recorded crime is at its lowest level for over 30 years, having peaked in 2004/05
Canada: reported crime volume has been declining over the past decade; the Crime Severity Index declined 22% from 1999 to 2009
England and Wales: offences are declining, having peaked in 2007/08
Netherlands: recently started hiring out their prison space to Belgium, citing a reduction in crime as one of the reasons they could do so.

I'm happy to post such but ticked off that posting such to some (usually not residents), means just I'm not getting "the full picture" or having "the full experience" of NZ
