| 842992 | 2009-12-27 01:12:00 | Yep and we have one of the best Justice systems in the world as well, contrary to what the SST would have you believe. I hear all the time from people returning from overseas how much worse the crime was, we're really fortunate that we have low crimes rates and our murder rate is very low compared to the USA, but admittedly higher than many of the European countries who have a more "liberal" approach to crime. But my door isn't locked and it is unlikely some gang is going to come over tonight and break in. If they do it will be lead story on national news and we'll have days of postings about crime and rantings from the SST. If it happened overseas in some countries, it would be pretty much what happened every night and hardly newsworthy. I have travelled overseas, and to several places with much less crime than here, namely Singapore, Japan, New York, and Switzerland. While I was in Japan a home invasion that would have maybe made second page news here was all over the news there, and resulted in a parliamentary Inquiry and a state of the Nation address if I recall correctly Our justice system isn't terrible, but there is definitely room for improvement Regards Peter |

Sometimes it gets rather annoying when twerps like you make up a statement and then proceed to knock it down as if I was actually making that case in the first place . New Zealand is relatively safe, do you dispute that? No one said crime is ok - you made that bit up . |

New York having less crime - how long were you there? New York murder rate is over three times the rate of here according to figures published on the net . The other three restrict freedom to some extent in a similar way to China . That's one approach if you're prepared to give up freedom for it, but I want less Government not more of it, and of course Japan doesn't have the best record in human rights in the last hundred years . |

New Zealand is relatively safe, do you dispute that? No one said crime is ok - you made that bit up. I think we agree that crime is a problem. What you have not said is how society should fix the problem in your view. So what is your solution? How can we make this country safer than it is now? |

| 842998 | 2009-12-27 05:02:00 | Things are getting better although there is more crime, National and the Sensible Sentencing Trust efforts are putting the crims away longer. We reached a low point a few years ago with spineless judges and flaccid prosecutors. Now law and order issues win elections never used to but even labor voters who are programmed at birth to vote for the reds have had enough. We know we have won when the victim or victims kin say the sentence is tough enough had a few of them in the last few months. The liberals had their day and now its time to wave them good bye and punish crooks severely. |
