But we work with what we have

You didn’t expect them to publish meaningful numbers that could be used to actually measure their performance, did you?

If you want to make something meaningful out of these figures then start tracking the trends, that’ll tell you how well the AFP are performing.

You seem to have conveniently forgotten about the annual report which is made public, the same report used to report ACT Policing performance to the ACT Government. Oh, but wait (pulls on tin foil hat) it’s all a conspiracy so the AFP can lie about performance …… Mwah hahahahahahahaha !!!!!

Nicer areas have more crime? like the civic which is full of beggars and drunkards? or woden town center which is full of young good-for-nothings who have nothing better to do than “hang” around looking for a fight.

“very crude measure”

According to your table Kambah appears as a reasonably safe suburb but it is assigned a patrol area all of its own.quote]

Looking at the map of the zones in Tuggeranong, it appears that Kambah is a patrol area of it’s own simply due to it’s size

Nice to see the Chisholm / Richo scum are just as active in their own ‘communities’ as they are when they come to visit Fadden, Gowrie and Macarthur.

The problem with most crime statistic’s is that it’s a very difficult thing to measure accurately…

If you lived in a place where assults where a daily occurance, and you where assulted say once every three months, how long would it be before you stopped calling the police and simply took matters into your own hands? Likewise with break and enters. (This is assuming your financial situation doesn’t allow you to move away)

Furthermore in those sorts of places, insurance is probably not a good measure either. I had a mate who’s place was broken into on average every couple of weeks. They didn’t bother with insurance as no insurance co would touch them, not much point calling the cops, as the cops would take a statement and that would be the end of that. So his solution, don’t have nice things worthy of steeling.

So to look at crime rates there based on insurance or police reports, it would show a lower crime rate than was actually happening in the area.

Nicer areas? Take out the town centres & the first 5 suburbs listed are Braddon, Reid, Acton, Turner & Ainslie. Pretty much exactly what I’d expect to see. All suburbs with a high proportion of scum.

And a high proportion of young people with nice new modern stuff whose security is limited by the fact that they’re renting or dealing with a body corporate. Easy targets who are often victim to criminal gangs that sweep through “secure” carparks either stealing cars or breaking windows to steal expensive goodies such as GPS units and phone accessories.
