Default Is crime REALLY a problem?
Crime is no worse in NZ than in Australia or the UK.

The fact that our population is so low means that more crime stats and incidents make the news.

If the UK had only 4 million people (ie about a third of London) then you would hear more about the crime etc too.

News in the UK is censored and internationally focussed.
News in NZ is NZ focussed and reports on community events are not uncommon.

In my opinion NZ *is* a safe place to live in.
I don't feel threatened in my own country.
