The question is why? Your answer will be incorrect It's not half, it's less than that, but it is higher. It's less than half the murder rate of chicago, if we want to compare rates in disadvantaged areas

Like the old days in Redfun - they'd walk across the pedestrian crossing at the station to stop the traffic, then grab handbags and such from passenger seats. Later graduated to car-jacking. Sounds like they walk into a car there and pretend to be hit and then steal it etc. I was flagged down by a bloke at about 4am once, who thought my security van was a police vehicle South African style (big boong-bars etc) - he'd been mugged and I took him to The Joke - Redfun police station. South African tourist.... you'd think he knew the ropes..... walking Redfun at 4 am....

gee., we have a bright spark here folks.

googles 'Alice Springs crime' and then is amazed that the google search is all related to crime in Alice Springs Cheesy

Well that's what he's talking about - Alice Springs

you plank.

You can google any big towns crime and get pages of crime in that town. He's going to need something a bit more substantive than just a google search for crime if he's trying to make a point

Boris is correct to note that Alice Springs is a crime hotspot.

The figures do not lie.

To add to the problem:

‘Rivers of grog’ to flow in NT

‘Rivers of grog’ will flow in remote NT communities from Sunday for the first time in 15 years following a controversial policy shift.

It is going to get worse.

Boris, you live in the NT?

What do you reckon about this move?

I saw this on news and I wondered what it meant… I didn’t even know there was a grog ban in place ….
If it’s so bad the crime… is that unbanning going to improve anything there?

I’ve never been to Alice Springs and have wanted to go see Uluṟu… but now I’m not so sure? If there’s warnings in place?
Oh well such is life… I’ve done a gun safety course and applying for licence soon….I looked in hunting shop and Im going to buy bow and arrows… I’ve done target practice… I don’t miss!

As Boris didn't provide a link to his statistics, I had to check myself...

https://pfes.nt.gov.au/police/community-safety/nt-crime-statistics/alice-springs

I'm guessing the terrible crime stats are influenced by the high percentage
of Aboriginal residents—17.6% of the population at the 2016 Census. In
comparison to Redfern in NSW at 2.1% of the population, East Perth in WA
at 0.7% of the population, the Alice Springs percentage is majorly higher.

Redfern and East Perth are acknowledged as Aboriginal enclaves.

Aboriginal people are massively over-represented in the criminal justice system
of Australia. They represent only 3% of the total population, yet more than 29%
of Australia's prison population are Aboriginal.

And the correlation between Aboriginal populations and crime rates are clear.
In December 2019 the rate was 2,536 prisoners per 100,000 adult Aboriginal
population, compared to 218 prisoners per 100,000 non-Aboriginal population.

—Aboriginal prison rates-Creative Spirits, 6 April 2022.
