Crime in Brisbane, Australia

Coming from the U.S. (San Mateo). I can tell you Brisbane is a lot safer than most big American cities, though not as safe as some major European cities i lived in, and that is quite a difference, I can assure you.

One CANNOT argue with statistics no matter what your predeliction to not liking them isL Brisbane IS VERY SAFE !

moved from toronto canada to brisbane. this place is way more laid back and i feel way safer here. of course it's a city and a city can only get so safe but never in my life have i been so at ease walking home alone from a night out. im pretty sure all of these people complaining in the comments either watch too much news or have never lived anywhere but brisbane. its a big city of course there is going to be murderers and rapist. you go to literally any city in the whole world even close to this size and its the same. but this place is certainly safer than most city with a population of this size.

What is up with Brisbane and violence against women and children?

I recently moved here from over in the states and since than I have noticed a decrease in crime... How strange ;)

I'm sorry but Brisbane is NOT safe. Lots of random attacks at pubs, clubs and discos, hair brained low IQ and violent proud and uppity powderkeg minorities from chithole places like Hong Kong and other cities in South East Asia who successfully get Australian passports and think they are better than any local person, taking advantage of people who welcomed them while they scheme and do their chithole country things in their new host nation while the media cheers them on as being 'model minorities'. Really dangerous drivers and aggression on the roads and bikeways, sidewalks and everywhere from fitness freaks, aggressive minorities and people who think that by wearing a suit they are boss. There was a cyclist who accidentally touched a pedestrian on a city sidewalk and his immediately reaction was to brutally run after and attack the cyclist.

Brisbane used to be good. Then 1995 happened and it changed. Lots of local bogans started to think that their suburb actually mattered even though they are full of derelict houses and spiders, snakes, cockroaches, ants which are in all Brisbane houses. Brisbane is full of deros (Aussie word for losers) who drink their welfare and disability checks. Brisbane is full of welfare people. Maybe 70% are in jobs welfare programs or taking welfare. Alcoholism is out of control. The public transit is the worst in Australia, because of the geography of the Brisbane downtown area which is cut off by a river on three sides and by steep hills on the fourth side. Brisbane people travel to NYC and remark on how NY feels far safer than anywhere in Brisbane. Brisbane people love to hate other cities in the region, like Ipswich, Gold Coast and Redcliffe, because deep down they are insecure about their own poorly planned and unlivable city. Brisbane is unlivable and in fact, the only people who think it is livable are people who could never get a job anywhere else because Brisbane education is designed to keep people there. UQ is their university, and is famous for bullying an outspoken student and for having riots between different factions from HK and other parts of China. Brisbane is a shithole. In fact, it's a dangerous shithole. You are at high risk of being insulted or attacked for 1. wrong opinions 2. saying anything about Brisbane 3. not coming from the same high school 4. for no reason, because a lot of Brisbane people have problems with drink. Brisbane is also like being in some weird mix of third world people. They come from HK and China, SEA, Samoa, Fiji and India. It's probably less than 50% white these days, and full of about 100x too many asian and other ethnic restaurants. Brisbane is a city chock full of minorities and feels very unsafe, day or night. If you accidentally look at someone the wrong way, or brush someone's shirt, you might be attacked. Then there's the floods. Brisbane is full of ugly, stinky floodwaters because they built the entire city on a giant flood plain. Brisbane was a rough penal colony for the worst of the worst, and this is reflected today. The sun is extremely harsh and the women are extremely fat and very uncomely.

Brisbane is a very dangerous city. Lots of murders every year and rapes. Domestic Violence is common and you only need to look at cases like Alison Baden Clay and Hannah Clarke and countless others and what 2 things do they have in common? Violence against women and Brisbane. Brisbane people like to deflect and try and elevate petty crime in regional cities above its disgusting levels of violent crime.

No idea what any of these commnents are talking about, I have lived here for 18 years and never seen any form of crime ever. The worst thing that's happened to me is my house being egged on halloween a couple years ago. Literally feel safe going anywhere in Brisbane, yeah there is a bit of youth crime but that's just anywhere. Nothing to worry about if you're thinking of moving here, never ever felt unsafe anywhere in Brisbane.

I will admit though on the news there has been a rising number of cases of rape in the city.

Zachary McKean’s comment on Forest lake and Riply being slums are definitely not true. I live in Forest Lake, and can safely say that we have a happy community, beautiful wildlife and no one under the poverty line.

What is the formulate of the city crime rate?

pedos and rapists everywhere always some new case of assault or murder, im only a kid and living here is a nightmare
