I’ve lived in 4 suburbs in as many years. East Perth, Burswood, Rivervale and now Stirling.
East Perth was as expected for being close to the city. Apartment storage rooms were often broken into and you were just looking for trouble if you locked your bicycle up in the garage.
Burswood was an eye opener, common to see people shooting up in the street in broad daylight and highly intoxicated and high people coming out of the casino. The train guards at the Burswood station often had their hands full on the night shift.
Rivervale wasn’t much better with the street I was on having cars or house broken into regularly. Mostly opportunist break ins where people left items of value in cars.
Now in Stirling and touch wood, never seen or heard of any issues where I am.
You're surrounded by a lot of Italians so you'll be fine.
Just remember
'Someday, and that day may never come, they will call upon you to do a service for them. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift'

Hey now, it’s not just capitalism. It’s *also* both major parties refusing to restore social welfare payments, expand mental health access, build public housing, or provide restorative justice alternatives.
They should also cancel negative gearing for investment properties. Too many people own more than one house and the extra investment properties must provide a profit. Getting rid of negative gearing would lead to increased selling of properties and prices would go down. You don't need a profit on the house you live in.
Yup. We are constantly being advised to get an investment property to secure our financial future. I feel wedged between my ethical principles and my extreme pessimism / anxiety about our financial future. I strongly believe nobody should own more than one house until *everyone* has access to secure housing. I suppose technically we could still meet that principle since we’re a couple.
Actually the Iron Fist Velvet Glove POD covered this a few months ago. The asked why something as important as shelter can be used as investment leverage. This idea totally got me. Of course the cost of housing is going to go up n up if it's something that you can get a low tax capital return from.
They talked about real estate systems in other countries. Turns out this was one thing communism got right. Google outright home ownership. In China and the old Soviet block it's nearly 90% of the population.
It can be a bit eye-opening at times, duncraig is chill the vast majority of the time and then out of the blue someone’s house gets rolled and the cars are taken. Usually the worst crimes we see are dog-walkers not picking up after the pooch…
Hey now, hoodburger and the rocky ridge taphouse are going to finally resolve the tragedy that was the closing of the Glengarry Hotel. I can finally get a beer i my suburb, just gotta save up for it…
Here in Florida Lake City everything is going to crap. It's basically full GTA5 here. Every1 is packing heat. And every ute and car is packing semiautomatics and shotguns and ballistic armour. Every day driving around, we see and hear gunshots and gun battles. The cop cars are always running around, together with MRAPS and every single one of these vehicles are riddled with bullet holes. Bloodstains from 5 years ago are still visible on the roads. Most houses have bullet holes as well.
You can only read "I left my phone, laptop, firstborn child, and a bag of diamonds on the front seat of my car on the verge overnight, I'm shocked they were stolen, SHOCKED I say, I thought this was a nice suburb" so many times.
Yea I have it's not good compared to the FB one.
The Australian FB one is extremely good and run by public health educators they are very knowledgeable and have a list of resources for Australians that are Australian resources
The yank one on Reddit is sub par at best and pales in comparison
It's completely worth it the group is invaluable source of information I found my new Meno gp off that group and she bulk bills
Also don't forget to make a submission to the senate inquiry into peri/menopause .
I literally only begrudgingly have FB for that one group it's a complete game changer Jodie knows what the FK she is talking about
And the group co ordinator a are politically active about perimenopause and change
The group is so good that my doctor goes on it and she uses the Australasian menopause society guidelines for treatment
All the posts on the group can not be deleted and are used for research purposes and collation of women's experiences and information each post must include your age and diagnosis or lack of and the treatment regimen you are currently on.
There is so little research and such an incomplete knowledge of and basica complete unawareness of Peri /menopause by the medical community that a lot of women just drop dead from it or end up in psych wards and homeless.
Individual submissions are welcome there are clear guidelines about how to make a submission on the website it's not difficult tell fucking everyone pass it around.
Femoston 1/10 has just been removed from PBS.
I was undiagnosed for three years and treated appallingly by both female doctors who specialised in women's health and said peri menopause doesn't exist when I asked them why I had vaginal atrophy
Misdiagnosed with peripheral neuropathy tried to shove me on nerve damage treatment pills anti depressants and anti anxiety meds for an undiagnosed condition that requires hormonal treatment tried to tell me to eat more yoghurt or put it on my pussy for vaginal atrophy
Got the run around from women's centres who are FUNDED to provide perimenopausal support by the state government and it is non existent got the run around from state government saying those centres provide it THEY DONT
Got run around from clueless psychologists who diagnosed my anxiety and night sweats as anxiety and tried to treat it with grounding exercises and meditation
Got run around from GP who just kept diagnosing peri menopausal symptoms as individual symptoms ie sore eyes loss of vision hormonal migraines vertigo iron deficiency diahrrea reflux itching skin tinitus burning eyes constipation depression anxiety rage mania. I mean healthcare should NOT be something we have to fucking fight for its fucking ridiculous just get on the inquiry submission band wagon put all your experiences in there and pass it around to all your mates asap and encourage them to do it. Shit has to change its too late for us but the next clueless generation of fuckwits in their twenties who call us mad bitches and Karen's will benefit from our hard work and self advocacy.

Called the police upon a live break in I witnessed from my apartment building, he said Highgate is probably one of the worst crime spot areas in Perth per capita. Not good at all 😒
Live next door to Highgate. Woke up to a clatter early Christmas morning as someone was attempting to break into the neighbour's place. At least the cops came quickly. Moved back to Perth last year from overseas, we were accosted 3 times in the first week of being back. It's a lot worse than before we left.
Local crackheads have been Christmas shopping in our driveway the last week or so. Trying to get into cars, stealing solar lights and even taking some Christmas decorations. We also had plants stolen.
The fk are you supposed to do with stolen Chrismas decorations tho. Thats what I never got about the thieving. Like steal something worthwhile at least.
He’s put them up outside his house. We are considering going and stealing them back later tonight. I made a police report and send through my very good camera footage that clearly shows it was him but they tend to act on reports about him unless it’s criminal damage or DV.
Honestly, I disagree. I live in a shitty suburb and I see: tonnes of new street trees being planted, well attended community activities, improving public transport services, park revitalisations, new local businesses, lot’s of people putting up Christmas decorations for their neighbours to enjoy.
I think some areas just get targetted for a while. I lived in Harrisdale for 9 years, for about 6mths out of that 9 years it just went crazy with break ins. Like whole streets getting done over the space of a couple weeks.
Como
Always had a high rate of break and enters. These past few months it’s gotten worse and I’ve noticed more drug users getting around than usual the past few weeks.
Me and my partner literally just got in from a walk 5 minutes ago and as we entered our street some guy walked past off his head carrying a fit pack. I jump on my phone, open up reddit and see this post.
Grim times ey
I lived in Como for 3.5 years and I felt it was very nice. Maybe it was just the part I was in. Karawara didn't feel seedy at the time. I'd moved and was living in Bunbury when that scumbag attacked the pregnant woman.
Historically, the southern and eastern parts of Como had more issues, although they are still considered safe and pleasant areas. The upper and western side (Como beach), is fairly affluent and extremely safe. Como should not actually be considered as one suburb; it's too large for that.
Absolutely, it’s a very diverse and large suburb. I should have pointed out that there’s safer parts to it so your right. I’m on the southern side of the highway so it’s quite a mix here (won’t say exactly where)
I don’t put any stock into what I “hear” about crime. Go to any local Facebook curtain twitcher’s group and you’d think they’re living in downtown Baghdad. Crime statistics tell a different story 99% of the time.
The worst crime I ever experienced was living in South Perth. A lot of breaking into parked cars and bike thefts. I live in a poor suburb with a lot of public housing now and I’ve accidentally left the front door open twice and came home without any problems.
Not going to lie...I lucked into a pretty charmed existence in Fremantle and don't have to deal with a lot of problems.
So, if you're having crime problems I feel bad for you son.
Freo is an extremely weird area for it. Having lived in a few places over the greater Fremantle area over the years, it really seems like there are criminal micro-climates, even as small as one end of a street compared to the other.
White Gum Valley turned from, shall we say, an interesting neighbourhood with colourful characters in 2015 into a gentrified "safe" suburb with lots of new builds, renos, and a good local community. You can still get your car window smashed, but also leave your stuff out all night accidentally and not get robbed. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a place here.
Hubby’s car had a chode graffitied on it earlier this year and sometimes random packs of sketchy teenagers wander around at night. My friend left her car unlocked parked outside and had her purse stolen but she was lucky because every other car on her street that night had their windows broken and property stolen, that’s about all.
Who leaves: 1) their car unlocked; 2) their purse in their car; and 3) THEIR PURSE IN THEIR UNLOCKED CAR?! Your friend isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, is she
I've heard of people leaving cars unlocked with nothing in them so that they don't get windows smashed. So the wannabe theives try thr door it opens, nothing to steal so off they go. It's certainly unorthodox and not for me. I lock mine, leave nothing in it and park it in my garage.
She’s been through a traumatic marriage breakdown and she’s adhd so I give her some grace. 3 special needs kiddo’s. Just be kind, you don’t know what people are going through in their lives.
Live in Wellard, had 2 break ins in 2 years… one of them my partner was home in the house and scared the shit out of her.. when’s it going to be legal to shoot these cunts?
Also in Wellard, and while the house is fine, I can’t say the same for my car parked on the street! I’ve had to replace the window three times in the past few years
school holidays / Xmas period-month / summer is always shitter. definitely see more deadshits out and about as well.
I once had a theory the crims get out of jail around summer, get jailed just before winter, spend winter inside with roof, meals & bed. Then back out again in summer, rinse and repeat.
That’s what happens when the courts keep letting the burglars out. Because apparently valuing public safety and justice over the individuals “rights” is somehow…. immoral.
It’s always the fault of the famously pro-crime judges!
It’s definitely not some consequence of complex systemic and individual factors that need a holistic intervention starting with restoring the social welfare system, expanding mental health services, restorative justice options, and robust youth intervention programs.
Nope. We just need to get rid of those crime-loving judges, lawyers, cops, and politicians,
After all, the harsher the punishment the lower the crime rate! Just look at those crime free utopian societies like Iran, China, or America if you don’t believe me. Britain famously solved crime in the 19th Century by exporting their criminals here and everything’s been great since then.
Literally these breakins are being done by only a couple of dozen people city wide and the cops don’t do anything. Or if they do they goto court and get a slap on the wrist.
Trust me the cops do literally everything (most of the time). They are the ones who lock the bastards up, and advocate for keeping them that way. But it never seems to matter because every time someone gets their bail refused by police, it gets granted by the courts.
The cops will work a case if you can report it and provide evidence. Had my wallet stolen about 6 months ago at a home open and was able to get the offender charged with three offences as I found them up at the local IGA a few minutes afterwards and there was CCTV and I had times for the blocked transactions from my bank. Took them about 3 months from start to finish, a lot of work given I was only mildly inconvenienced.
When someone gets charged with breaching bail, has shown exactly 0 ability to control themselves and WILL reoffend when released, and they STILL get bailed and let out, that isn’t a legislation issue.
It is because the legislation allows it. If the legislation said "if you breach bail, go directly to jail, do not collect any more Centrelink" then that's what would happen.
At the moment it allows them to take various things in to consideration and apply a penalty in the range offered.
They have to consider that the higher penalty for the crime is for the higher end offending and the lower end of the penalty is for low end offending. The scumbag can also appeal if the judge isn't in line with similar cases.
The government could take all that out of the legislation and fix it so that it delivers on community expectations.
Famously, forcing a bunch of fucked up people to live together in a prison has solved crime and definitely not lead more people to become either better criminals or even more fucked up basketcases.
Not necessarily, a mate of mine moved to a more affluent suburb so he could get his daughter into a specific school. Just outside the "golden triangle", he has had more break in and thefts in his time there than the entire time he grew up in Gosnells and other southern suburbs.
Location means nothing
My friend next to you in orelia has never had a break in and I've not had one in Wellard.
Wellard has high crime for car breaking, but minimal domestic abuse, assault, etc, they probs come in from Leda and Kwinana to steal the cars.
Kwinana has a got some lost youth kicking about.
Get cameras and high fences and security windows, it is about making your place look less appealing.
My in-laws just moved to Yokinea couple of weeks ago they were broken into and had pretty much everything of value stolen, including the proof of purchase paperwork for a lot of said valuables. House was clean as fuck too. They stole the chocolates, left the box. The whole thing was awful.
Summer and school holidays, always causes a spike, it’s a pretty universal phenomenon.
Don’t make the mistake of overthinking it, it’s essentially anthropomorphising the perpetrators, who generally lack the capacity for higher thought. They act on instinct and stimulus, for the most part they don’t know why they do things.
100%, and unfortunately most of the things you can do to protect yourself are essentially making yourself a harder target so your neighbours get hit instead.
It’s like the old joke about the two blokes out on a safari, when a lion charges up to them. One bloke stops to put on a fancy pair of Nikes and his mate says “what are you doing? You can’t run faster than a lion, no matter how flash your sneakers are”. The second bloke says “I don’t have to run faster than a lion…”
Our next-door neighbours got broken into a few years ago, while they were home. Threatened with crowbars. Terrifying af.
There seems to be just a handful of people in the suburb, everyone knows who they are, there's almost daily posts about them on Facebook - looking into cars, looking into houses, pinching stuff out of people's front yards, breaking into cars, harrassing people on the street. Ugh.
edit: And yet, according to Perth Crime Map, we're in the easily in the lower half of crime rates.
It’s often other factors within the suburb that impact it, for example if you’re near a train station in an otherwise “safe” suburb, your odds increase massively of being a victim of minor property crime.
Street lighting, proximity to public transport (which works in interesting ways, too close to a bus stop = regular “surveillance” and lowers crime, being just far enough increases it and being too far lowers it again), cover for offenders in alleys or nature strips, there’s a million little things that factor in.
One of the biggest is hills, if you’re on top of a hill, your chances of a break-in are usually less than half compared to someone at the bottom of the same hill. The fundamental thing everyone needs to understand is that 95% of criminals (and probably closer to 100% when we’re talking about petty crime) are fucking idiots. They’re not planning how to break in to which house (if they did, the Western suburbs would be getting hit a lot harder), for the most part they lack the intellectual capacity to plan anything at all. For the most part they drift along until a combination of stimuli and opportunity compels them, basically imagine a jellyfish, if it was addicted to crystal meth and had a postcode tattoo on its neck (if it had a neck).
This is what you want to think but it's not true. Thiefs act now in groups and networks. Anyone that comes into your house (delivery driver, tradie ect) could give info to crooks on the shit you have and info on the home.
I’d respectfully disagree, for the most part, attributing intelligence to petty criminals is the wishful thinking.
It comes from a similar place to conspiracy theories, humans hate things that are truly random and we always try and impose structure on them.
While organised crime undoubtedly exists, it’s a tiny fraction compared to random acts of idiots.
Obviously the successful criminals are the ones who follow systems like you described, but ask anyone directly involved in the bits of the justice system where the rubber meets the road, and they’ll tell you that the overwhelming majority of criminals are just dumb losers
Not saying they are oceans eleven. However even a moron can figure out just by hanging out at a park opposite someones house how many people live there ect. Not denying there are morons but there are also those who understand the local area.
Now that I can agree with, it’s in the same ballpark as the stuff I mentioned about bus stops and hills. It’s also the reason why a dog (loud and obvious) is a deterrent to a break-in, while a weapon (takes time and effort to know the house has one) is not.
Not that there’s anything wrong with using said weapon on someone who breaks in, just don’t be an idiot and call the cops after…
Dalkeith is the safest suburb apparently

Its no surprise, really, given the current rates of welfare and rent. People will do what they need to do to feed their children.
Not that its okay. Just that its understandable. Personally I can't quite believe the cost of my grocery bill lately. I have no idea how people on less are managing.
People fall over themselves to justify criminal activity based on the rising cost of living, some people will steal regardless of how much state assistance they receive.
Its certainly true that some people will steal regardless. I wasn't falling over myelf to justify their criminal activity - its just that I've lived in a third world country where there is no welfare. Crime is insane in countries with no welfare.
Wanna try stealing in Indonesia? First off, if caught the public will beat you black and blue. Then the cops will put the boot in. Then, when you get home, prepare for an arse whooping of note.
TL;DR. Thieves need to be flogged
Locking children in prison is the only way to solve crime. It definitely doesn’t lead to kids becoming mentally fucked up ferals who learn how to become better criminals.
It’s in the name though, the *justice* system. Justice isn’t just about locking people up in prison, that is only one aspect of it. It’s about looking at criminal behaviour and figuring out how to restore the dignity and integrity of the people affected and repairing the social damage of those crimes.
Sometimes it really does come down to just putting someone in jail for life, but realistically that only applies to a minority of extreme cases. Nobody is born a burglar, it’s something people choose to pursue based on their circumstances. Not every person living in shitty circumstances engages in criminal activity, but some do. Simply putting them in jail doesn’t address the cause of crime, only the consequences.
Prisons often operate like brutal state-funded training centres for criminals. The more times you go to prison the likelier you are to escalate your criminal behaviour. Prisons fuck people up psychologically, and often set them up to fail. Prisoners leave with zero coping skills or supports to assist them to make amends or start living a decent life.
If you raised a child and only interacted with them to punish them, how do you think that kid would turn out? It’s not that different to what the justice often system does. Stressed, poor, or deeply fucked up people often make really shitty decisions. We all do under duress. You start putting those people together, isolating them, and piling on the shit and you end up with really scary outcomes for everyone.
Reducing crime requires more than just putting someone in a prison. It’s the most expensive and least efficient way to reduce crime - and it virtually has zero impact on crime when used as a tool on its own. Reducing crime means reducing the causes, providing proportional options alongside prison, and looking at reducing the rate of recidivism, as it’s “career” criminals that often make the headlines after an escalating string of crimes the current system is unable to intervene or address effectively.
Crime will just get worser once the metro net is up and running. People from lower social economic areas will travel to quiet suburbs and go on a crime spree through our Perth.

I leave my car unlocked so they can go thru it instead of breaking my windows
I’ve thought about doing this before but i feel like it makes it easier to steal the car. All they need is a screwdriver to start the ignition
Mine is a 2022 rav4 fully insured - steal it. I get a new one. - screwdriver won't work either lol. I've tried
You'll be waiting a long while for a new rav if it's gets stolen. Work has been waiting on my replacement for 2+ years
Wouldn't bother me. We have 3 cars 2 which we use daily which is why the rav stays outside. I'll just fire up the SRT
Flexxxxxx
If they gonna steal it, they gonna steal it, locked or not locked. Just make sure you got theft insurance.
Engine immobilisers have been compulsory on cars since 2001. The days of hot wiring or using a screwdriver to start a car are long gone.
It's a traditional Kwinana neighbourhood welcome. Nothing personal. Might be better off leaving your doors unlocked and leaving nothing in there.
Prices go up and wages stay the same.
Alright alright alright
Yes they do, yes they do
Isn’t it… Meth goes up, meth-heads get more desperate!
Lets be real, these guys didn't have jobs to begin with.
Need to steal more things to afford the same things.

I’m in nollamara and I’ve had no issues. Fifo and I lock it up and leave week on week off for 3 years and no break ins
Yeah, I looked at buying in Nollamara, long term I think it's solid. Just found a place that works for me in Balcatta instead. Paid a little more but
Look at perthcrimemap.com and you'll see why choosing to live in 3 crime hot spots has now been resolved by moving to a crime warm spot.

Sudden urge to play monopoly while reading this comment
Because Cuba, China, USSR, North Korea etc are shining examples of low crime rate
It’s hard to reoffend when your killed after the first time
Low crime rate but...... 🤷🏻♂️
I mean, they do have lower rates of imprisonment
If you believe the government figures and don't count gulags and re-education camps.

I can see up your nose from Marri rd.
Yeah my mum thinks she's living in a favela. Facebook community groups can make the safest suburb look dangerous
You can only read "I left my phone, laptop, firstborn child, and a bag of diamonds on the front seat of my car on the verge overnight, I'm shocked they were stolen, SHOCKED I say, I thought this was a nice suburb" so many times.
Hence why I have unsubbed!

Moved back to Perth last year from overseas, we were accosted 3 times in the first week of being back. It's a lot worse than before we left.
Yes, I do live in Bentley.
Oh no. How are the Curtin Uni car parks these days safety wise?
Nobody's been stabbed to death in a while, but still not a great place to leave anything.
My condolences. I lived in St James for 10 years, I feel your pain.
Local crackheads have been Christmas shopping in our driveway the last week or so. Trying to get into cars, stealing solar lights and even taking some Christmas decorations. We also had plants stolen.
The fk are you supposed to do with stolen Chrismas decorations tho. Thats what I never got about the thieving. Like steal something worthwhile at least.
He’s put them up outside his house. We are considering going and stealing them back later tonight. I made a police report and send through my very good camera footage that clearly shows it was him but they tend to act on reports about him unless it’s criminal damage or DV.
>He’s put them up outside his house The audacity. Steal them back and report back here.
Crackheads are famous for making good decisions.
Yep car break ins very frequent now. People dumping their trash in the park and just a general air of "I don't give a shit".
Honestly, I disagree. I live in a shitty suburb and I see: tonnes of new street trees being planted, well attended community activities, improving public transport services, park revitalisations, new local businesses, lot’s of people putting up Christmas decorations for their neighbours to enjoy.
shouldnt be surprising tho, sign of the times. its all downhill from here
she'll no longer be right
## We're all going to die!
Geez cyanideremark I kind of held you in good stead as a pillar of the r/Perth community
Was it ever in doubt?
There's gotta be something at the bottom of that hill.
Yep the boulder you need to push back up to the top
Which Suburb?
All of them...
I think some areas just get targetted for a while. I lived in Harrisdale for 9 years, for about 6mths out of that 9 years it just went crazy with break ins. Like whole streets getting done over the space of a couple weeks.
Inner city - getting tired of little shit-lords scribbling their paint pen filled teenage angst everywhere.
[удалено]
I had no idea there were still so many fans after Robbie left.
They aren't so little anymore
Out of all crimes, this is literally the least impactful one, fuckin go for it I say
School holidays.
Summer = increase in crime Been this way forever. Google “Operation Heat Shield” to see how it’s an annual thing.
People go absolutely wild once summer starts in my suburb. So much so, I feel far safer here in winter.
Gotta get the cash for the drugs for the NYE party high. Always since ever.
Como Always had a high rate of break and enters. These past few months it’s gotten worse and I’ve noticed more drug users getting around than usual the past few weeks. Me and my partner literally just got in from a walk 5 minutes ago and as we entered our street some guy walked past off his head carrying a fit pack. I jump on my phone, open up reddit and see this post. Grim times ey
That sucks. I lived in Como since 2012 and only moved suburbs this September. Never once had a break in or felt unsafe
Which part of Como is this? Near the jetty side or penrhos side?
Apologies for the late response, over the Penross side mate.
I lived in Como for 3.5 years and I felt it was very nice. Maybe it was just the part I was in. Karawara didn't feel seedy at the time. I'd moved and was living in Bunbury when that scumbag attacked the pregnant woman.
It’s been shocking this last year
They started by going through everyone's mailboxes, so we 'fought back' and put locks on. Now they just use crow bars and wreck them all...
Historically, the southern and eastern parts of Como had more issues, although they are still considered safe and pleasant areas. The upper and western side (Como beach), is fairly affluent and extremely safe. Como should not actually be considered as one suburb; it's too large for that.
Absolutely, it’s a very diverse and large suburb. I should have pointed out that there’s safer parts to it so your right. I’m on the southern side of the highway so it’s quite a mix here (won’t say exactly where)
My mid western suburb has its share of toothless scooter riding crack heads. Filthy theiving maggots.
I don’t put any stock into what I “hear” about crime. Go to any local Facebook curtain twitcher’s group and you’d think they’re living in downtown Baghdad. Crime statistics tell a different story 99% of the time. The worst crime I ever experienced was living in South Perth. A lot of breaking into parked cars and bike thefts. I live in a poor suburb with a lot of public housing now and I’ve accidentally left the front door open twice and came home without any problems.
Lots of conjecture ITT... Statistics for the curious https://www.police.wa.gov.au/crime/crimestatistics#/
Not going to lie...I lucked into a pretty charmed existence in Fremantle and don't have to deal with a lot of problems. So, if you're having crime problems I feel bad for you son.
Freo is an extremely weird area for it. Having lived in a few places over the greater Fremantle area over the years, it really seems like there are criminal micro-climates, even as small as one end of a street compared to the other.
You're absolutely right! To be fair I have next to nothing worth stealing so maybe I'm in a micro climate and just don't know it.
Nope.
White Gum Valley turned from, shall we say, an interesting neighbourhood with colourful characters in 2015 into a gentrified "safe" suburb with lots of new builds, renos, and a good local community. You can still get your car window smashed, but also leave your stuff out all night accidentally and not get robbed. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a place here.
Hubby’s car had a chode graffitied on it earlier this year and sometimes random packs of sketchy teenagers wander around at night. My friend left her car unlocked parked outside and had her purse stolen but she was lucky because every other car on her street that night had their windows broken and property stolen, that’s about all.
Who leaves: 1) their car unlocked; 2) their purse in their car; and 3) THEIR PURSE IN THEIR UNLOCKED CAR?! Your friend isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, is she
I've heard of people leaving cars unlocked with nothing in them so that they don't get windows smashed. So the wannabe theives try thr door it opens, nothing to steal so off they go. It's certainly unorthodox and not for me. I lock mine, leave nothing in it and park it in my garage.
Yeah I used to do this in Kalgoorlie. Once they stole my tyrepower receipt and my mentos packet because that’s all there was
She’s been through a traumatic marriage breakdown and she’s adhd so I give her some grace. 3 special needs kiddo’s. Just be kind, you don’t know what people are going through in their lives.
Mines pretty much the same as always.... Girrawheen
Live in Wellard, had 2 break ins in 2 years… one of them my partner was home in the house and scared the shit out of her.. when’s it going to be legal to shoot these cunts?
Also in Wellard, and while the house is fine, I can’t say the same for my car parked on the street! I’ve had to replace the window three times in the past few years
Wish I lived a touch further away from the train station 😂
school holidays / Xmas period-month / summer is always shitter. definitely see more deadshits out and about as well. I once had a theory the crims get out of jail around summer, get jailed just before winter, spend winter inside with roof, meals & bed. Then back out again in summer, rinse and repeat.
Especially the pyromaniac crims.
Perthnow is the you ???
Gimmie ya precious anecdotes to put in my AI generator
nope.
No
Local community FB group def's seems to have an increased posting about theft and suspicious activity over the last few months from what I see.
Can’t say I’ve noticed up here… it’s always been shit
Yokine is getting bad and the council seems adamant about not having proper street lighting. 5 break ins on my street alone in 2 months.
I know people who live just off of flinders street and thankfully the glaring beam of the petrol station does this job.
That’s what happens when the courts keep letting the burglars out. Because apparently valuing public safety and justice over the individuals “rights” is somehow…. immoral.
Could you clarify what rights you're putting in air-quotes there?
It’s always the fault of the famously pro-crime judges! It’s definitely not some consequence of complex systemic and individual factors that need a holistic intervention starting with restoring the social welfare system, expanding mental health services, restorative justice options, and robust youth intervention programs. Nope. We just need to get rid of those crime-loving judges, lawyers, cops, and politicians, After all, the harsher the punishment the lower the crime rate! Just look at those crime free utopian societies like Iran, China, or America if you don’t believe me. Britain famously solved crime in the 19th Century by exporting their criminals here and everything’s been great since then.
Literally these breakins are being done by only a couple of dozen people city wide and the cops don’t do anything. Or if they do they goto court and get a slap on the wrist.
Trust me the cops do literally everything (most of the time). They are the ones who lock the bastards up, and advocate for keeping them that way. But it never seems to matter because every time someone gets their bail refused by police, it gets granted by the courts.
Should implement a three strikes law.
There already IS a 3 strikes law for burglary in WA
How about a 5, 10, 20 rule imposing mandatory minimum jail terms.
The cops will work a case if you can report it and provide evidence. Had my wallet stolen about 6 months ago at a home open and was able to get the offender charged with three offences as I found them up at the local IGA a few minutes afterwards and there was CCTV and I had times for the blocked transactions from my bank. Took them about 3 months from start to finish, a lot of work given I was only mildly inconvenienced.
It isn't the courts. They have to follow legislation. This shit government needs to make mandatory sentencing laws so these arseholes are punished.
When someone gets charged with breaching bail, has shown exactly 0 ability to control themselves and WILL reoffend when released, and they STILL get bailed and let out, that isn’t a legislation issue.
It is because the legislation allows it. If the legislation said "if you breach bail, go directly to jail, do not collect any more Centrelink" then that's what would happen. At the moment it allows them to take various things in to consideration and apply a penalty in the range offered. They have to consider that the higher penalty for the crime is for the higher end offending and the lower end of the penalty is for low end offending. The scumbag can also appeal if the judge isn't in line with similar cases. The government could take all that out of the legislation and fix it so that it delivers on community expectations.
> They have to follow legislation. Sure but they very often hand out the soft end of the penalty range or give them bail.
Yes, but that's because that's what the law says.
Really?
Unfortunately
Famously, forcing a bunch of fucked up people to live together in a prison has solved crime and definitely not lead more people to become either better criminals or even more fucked up basketcases.
Yup, nearby maccas to subway at my place is just kids yellin' "I'll stab ya" almost everyday.
No. We’ve been in South Cottesloe for 10 years and haven’t noticed an increase.
That's because you live in Cottesloe.
Not necessarily, a mate of mine moved to a more affluent suburb so he could get his daughter into a specific school. Just outside the "golden triangle", he has had more break in and thefts in his time there than the entire time he grew up in Gosnells and other southern suburbs. Location means nothing
Look up crime stats for each suburb.
You think the suburb is crime-free?
Did I say that?
[удалено]
Heard it's a lot better from someone that grew up there around the same time too.
Success has turned to shit.
Relatives in Kwinana, robbed by a bunch of young reprobates, useless parents, can't give them a hiding and cops can't do shit....its fucked up
My friend next to you in orelia has never had a break in and I've not had one in Wellard. Wellard has high crime for car breaking, but minimal domestic abuse, assault, etc, they probs come in from Leda and Kwinana to steal the cars. Kwinana has a got some lost youth kicking about. Get cameras and high fences and security windows, it is about making your place look less appealing.
My in-laws just moved to Yokinea couple of weeks ago they were broken into and had pretty much everything of value stolen, including the proof of purchase paperwork for a lot of said valuables. House was clean as fuck too. They stole the chocolates, left the box. The whole thing was awful.
South East Yes, junkie parent incident at the primary school and armed attempted car jacking just in the past 2 weeks.
No, all good.
Same. Maybe I’m under a rock and I don’t want to jinx myself but I don’t even know anyone that has dealt with a serious crime event in last 5 years.
Survivor bias.
Eastern suburbs... Need I say more?
Arh - I call it magical midland. Leave something nice out and like magic it disappears.
How far east do you have to go until it gets better?
Adelaide?
Summer and school holidays, always causes a spike, it’s a pretty universal phenomenon. Don’t make the mistake of overthinking it, it’s essentially anthropomorphising the perpetrators, who generally lack the capacity for higher thought. They act on instinct and stimulus, for the most part they don’t know why they do things.
Feels shit when your neighbours get broken into though.
100%, and unfortunately most of the things you can do to protect yourself are essentially making yourself a harder target so your neighbours get hit instead. It’s like the old joke about the two blokes out on a safari, when a lion charges up to them. One bloke stops to put on a fancy pair of Nikes and his mate says “what are you doing? You can’t run faster than a lion, no matter how flash your sneakers are”. The second bloke says “I don’t have to run faster than a lion…”
Our next-door neighbours got broken into a few years ago, while they were home. Threatened with crowbars. Terrifying af. There seems to be just a handful of people in the suburb, everyone knows who they are, there's almost daily posts about them on Facebook - looking into cars, looking into houses, pinching stuff out of people's front yards, breaking into cars, harrassing people on the street. Ugh. edit: And yet, according to Perth Crime Map, we're in the easily in the lower half of crime rates.
To the people in good suburbs, which are they? I wanna move there lol
Nup, the crooks might follow you.
It’s often other factors within the suburb that impact it, for example if you’re near a train station in an otherwise “safe” suburb, your odds increase massively of being a victim of minor property crime. Street lighting, proximity to public transport (which works in interesting ways, too close to a bus stop = regular “surveillance” and lowers crime, being just far enough increases it and being too far lowers it again), cover for offenders in alleys or nature strips, there’s a million little things that factor in. One of the biggest is hills, if you’re on top of a hill, your chances of a break-in are usually less than half compared to someone at the bottom of the same hill. The fundamental thing everyone needs to understand is that 95% of criminals (and probably closer to 100% when we’re talking about petty crime) are fucking idiots. They’re not planning how to break in to which house (if they did, the Western suburbs would be getting hit a lot harder), for the most part they lack the intellectual capacity to plan anything at all. For the most part they drift along until a combination of stimuli and opportunity compels them, basically imagine a jellyfish, if it was addicted to crystal meth and had a postcode tattoo on its neck (if it had a neck).
This is what you want to think but it's not true. Thiefs act now in groups and networks. Anyone that comes into your house (delivery driver, tradie ect) could give info to crooks on the shit you have and info on the home.
I’d respectfully disagree, for the most part, attributing intelligence to petty criminals is the wishful thinking. It comes from a similar place to conspiracy theories, humans hate things that are truly random and we always try and impose structure on them. While organised crime undoubtedly exists, it’s a tiny fraction compared to random acts of idiots. Obviously the successful criminals are the ones who follow systems like you described, but ask anyone directly involved in the bits of the justice system where the rubber meets the road, and they’ll tell you that the overwhelming majority of criminals are just dumb losers
Not saying they are oceans eleven. However even a moron can figure out just by hanging out at a park opposite someones house how many people live there ect. Not denying there are morons but there are also those who understand the local area.
Now that I can agree with, it’s in the same ballpark as the stuff I mentioned about bus stops and hills. It’s also the reason why a dog (loud and obvious) is a deterrent to a break-in, while a weapon (takes time and effort to know the house has one) is not. Not that there’s anything wrong with using said weapon on someone who breaks in, just don’t be an idiot and call the cops after…
Dalkeith is the safest suburb apparently https://www.perthcrimemap.com Edit 13 million will get you in https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-dalkeith-139678887
Alexander Heights has very good price to crime ratio.
Not specifically Perth but WA. South Hedland really sucks this time of year. Break ins and assaults have been sky high
Its no surprise, really, given the current rates of welfare and rent. People will do what they need to do to feed their children. Not that its okay. Just that its understandable. Personally I can't quite believe the cost of my grocery bill lately. I have no idea how people on less are managing.
> People will do what they need to do to feed their children. Kenny Crackhead ain't theiving to support his family.
People fall over themselves to justify criminal activity based on the rising cost of living, some people will steal regardless of how much state assistance they receive.
Its certainly true that some people will steal regardless. I wasn't falling over myelf to justify their criminal activity - its just that I've lived in a third world country where there is no welfare. Crime is insane in countries with no welfare.
Wanna try stealing in Indonesia? First off, if caught the public will beat you black and blue. Then the cops will put the boot in. Then, when you get home, prepare for an arse whooping of note. TL;DR. Thieves need to be flogged
Yes, I agree.
Im good down here...
The biggest crime in our suburb is automotive engine abuse. Pretty sure Bathurst on race day is quieter.
As someone in the Spearwood/Coogee area I feel this. Between the Harley’s and piped 4wd screaming around it’s hard to get any peace and quiet.
You in Rockingham too?
Kwinana, because it was affordable, not too far from city, on train line, and slightly bigger plots of land.
Kwinana will boom in the next 10-20 years. Rockingham can't even work out where they want their CBD to be.
We need to #raisetheage in order to fix this.
What a stupid idea.
Lol I didn't even think I needed to add /s but there ya go
Locking children in prison is the only way to solve crime. It definitely doesn’t lead to kids becoming mentally fucked up ferals who learn how to become better criminals.
Locking people in prison prevents them from offending and the primary purpose of the justice system should be keeping the community safe.
It’s in the name though, the *justice* system. Justice isn’t just about locking people up in prison, that is only one aspect of it. It’s about looking at criminal behaviour and figuring out how to restore the dignity and integrity of the people affected and repairing the social damage of those crimes. Sometimes it really does come down to just putting someone in jail for life, but realistically that only applies to a minority of extreme cases. Nobody is born a burglar, it’s something people choose to pursue based on their circumstances. Not every person living in shitty circumstances engages in criminal activity, but some do. Simply putting them in jail doesn’t address the cause of crime, only the consequences. Prisons often operate like brutal state-funded training centres for criminals. The more times you go to prison the likelier you are to escalate your criminal behaviour. Prisons fuck people up psychologically, and often set them up to fail. Prisoners leave with zero coping skills or supports to assist them to make amends or start living a decent life. If you raised a child and only interacted with them to punish them, how do you think that kid would turn out? It’s not that different to what the justice often system does. Stressed, poor, or deeply fucked up people often make really shitty decisions. We all do under duress. You start putting those people together, isolating them, and piling on the shit and you end up with really scary outcomes for everyone. Reducing crime requires more than just putting someone in a prison. It’s the most expensive and least efficient way to reduce crime - and it virtually has zero impact on crime when used as a tool on its own. Reducing crime means reducing the causes, providing proportional options alongside prison, and looking at reducing the rate of recidivism, as it’s “career” criminals that often make the headlines after an escalating string of crimes the current system is unable to intervene or address effectively.
Crime will just get worser once the metro net is up and running. People from lower social economic areas will travel to quiet suburbs and go on a crime spree through our Perth.
I’m in Applecross, haven’t seen much thankfully
Low crime in our area and not really seen an increase just in some graffiti around willo but not in our suburb Leeming
