There has been a few conflicting views on whether or not crime is a real issue in New Zealand. The truth of the matter? Well, I suppose we can only base it on the country we come from. For a realistic insight in to what you may consider a problem or not, visit the link below to view the actual recorded statistics by the New Zealand Police, then try to find the same stats for your own country. It has to be the best comparison!

Really speaking, unless you live on a remote, deserted island, then you are going to live with crime! I personally dont think these stats show a problem, what do you think?
