Crime in Melbourne, Australia

I grew up in Melbourne and was subjected to regularly being insulted while walking down the street during daytime. People also like to vandalise public and private property all over Melbourne. At night you need to look behind you regularly. Also, in the city on a night out you need to avoid people who are drunk because they enjoy starting up a fight just for thrills. There are regular "glassings" to the face where a drunk smashes a glass bottle or glass on someone's face. There are also problems of someone being "king-hit" where someone just comes and punches a stranger in the head for no reason (sometimes resulting in death) and I even saw a man do this to a police officer at around 6pm in the city centre while coming how from work. These things are so common that the terms "king-hit" and "glassing" is used by the local media and are exclusive to Australia. Every weekend (look at the local nespapers online for yourself) the police will arrest groups of drunken louts in the city causing fights with strangers and damaging property. As another commenter below noted these groups of drunken Anglo-Saxon-Celtic white men are a big problem due to not being able to manage the alcohol and perhaps a culture of fighting seen as some kind of past time. Growing up there you think this is "normal" and are desensitised to it, but once I moved overseas I realised how abnormal, dangerous, violent and distressing these things are.

Look, I have no idea what tf everyone leaving comments on this page is talking about, bc half of these people are foreigners leaving bad comments and nitpicking every little crime that may, or may not have occurred in or around the city. This is fkng Melbourne, one of the most advanced and safest cities in the country, walking around at daytime is completely safe in the city as there are policemen on every block making sure the streets are safe and sound. Melbourne has a bustling nightlife, with the city staying alive and secure well through the night. Although there is a small chance of getting mugged in this city, you can be sure that it is almost guaranteed that you will never be physically harmed or assaulted in this city. The scariest thing that will most likely happen is a poor guy asking for 5 or 10 bucks. I will admit that there are many beggars in the street, but you should be safe if you keep your distance from them, however in most cases they are harmless. People usually only get aggressive when they are provoked, which young teenagers and adults sometimes take for granted. I can assure ya'll that walking around the city alone is very safe, and if travelling in a group or even just with one other person basically means no-one will ever try to bother you, as you have another person on your side and most people in the city most likely want to keep their privacy too. People in Melbourne are very colourful, many different cultures and ethnicities as Melbourne is very multicultural. Drugs can be a problem in Melbourne, but laws are very strict against them and they most likely won't affect you unless you are taking them. I'd say Melbourne is safer than most cities in America, as no-one can own a semi-auto or automatic firearm let alone carry carry them around in public. Laws against knives in public are also very strict, as you can only carry one around in public for work or professional purposes. The only people that would ever be allowed to carry around a pistol or rifle in public are police and private security services. All in all, everyone who comments on here is either a super prejudiced, Australian patriot skinhead or a foreigner wanting to leave a bad comment for laughs. I have no idea if this website is even a reputable source for safety ratings in cities and countries, but when I see these comments about my home city it does bring out the little patriot in me. Don't listen to these trolls wanting to give Melbourne a bad look on this website, they're just sitting behind their keyboard laughing and feeling good about themselves.

The next will be Codey M.C Hermann the Aboriginal rapper, who had NO right at all to take the life of Aiia Maarsawe(exchange student) in Bundoora over a month ago. North Korean police would have bisected Codey Herrman's head if the incident occurred in Pyongyang.

House robbery is way too common, ask anyone around you and they will probably have had experiences with break ins or attempts (multiple even). Increase in street harassment, sexual predators, homelessness and more. Not safe anymore. Police is not doing anything about break ins, we have to buy our own security cameras and add locks on doors to feel more 'secure'.

Barely over a week ago, a retarded rapper monkey, Codey Kulla Kulla MyCunt Hermann killed an exchange student near the Polaris Cafe, Bundoora & now, 2 teenagers were attacked by 20 African youths at the Wyndham Vale bus/train station. So much for public safety in Melbourne ! Where are the police ? Having coffee & watching The Simpsons ? Get the North Vietnamese Police in to set matters right.

Since Melbourne was overtaken by the Chinese, the city has been awash with drugs, heroin and crystal meth are out of control and the crime that comes with a drug epidemic has escalated considerably.
Melbourne is now the capital of car thefts, home invasions and muggings. Hit and runs by drug affected youth is a daily occurrence.
There is also a massive new migrant population from India so you get the sexual assaults that comes with that, be very vigilant on public transport.
There has also been a number of Islamic terror attacks either carried out or caught in the late planning stages, these are usually covered up by the media as mental illness issues but everyone knows what they are.
All in all, a multicultural nightmare and the only tourists still stupid enough to come here are the Chinese.

You don't have to pen dark lyrics about demons, Codey Fuck Arse Hermann. Just look in the mirror & you'll see a black pig with a grin as wide as his arse crack. Jihadis know about what you've done, black pig. Your black body will be tortured for that. You think it will all be over for you ? Oh, no ! Even the beginning has not started as yet. You'll find out soon. You are a djinn/demon inside a black body, Codey. When they have done you up, your balls will start talking to your cock ! No chance of escape, Codey Hermann. Sorry.

Best treatment to cure Sean Price ? Put him in an enclosure with rottweilers !
After Codey Hermann has masturbated in Sean's arsehole !

Aboriginals like Codey Hermann pollute the environment just by their existence. Aboriginal or otherwise, there should be no light sentences for this black dog who has brought death, grief & agony to the Maarsawe family.
There is no guarantee that Codey Hermann will not repeat this act of his.To be absolutely certain Codey does not "re offend", just slice off both his hands. Codey Hermann ought to be tortured for what he did to Aiia Maarsawe, who is a complete stranger to him. Smash up Codey Hermann in jail. Stamp on his genitals & kick him around for trying to be "smart". Break his arms for those are the hands that killed Aiia Maarsawe for nothing.
Codey Hermann has to learn hard.

All the crying, the sadness, the remorse etc. etc. will not bring Aya Maasawre back. She has gone from the world at age 21. Why ? Because of one Aboriginal pig who was trying to be smart. Codey Hermann has brought death to the Maasarwe family Because of his actions, Codey will have to pay with his blood. Not by Victorian law but by Islamic law. Codey will likely be tortured by Islam Palestinians. Its only a matter of time. Then, honesty will "return" to Codey Herman in his coffin ! The best way to stop killers is to either kill them or cut their arms off. Codey Hermann can do all the rapping, the Jack Daniels drinking, the dancing he wants.
But there is no escape for murder, especially for what he has done in Bundoora. Violent Aboriginals or any violent criminals are easily destroyed by the Indonesian Army, Hamas or Al Shabab. Codey Herman/M.C. Cockhead has the intelligence level of a snail.

Codey Hermann is an Aboriginal dog, that will die at the hands of Palestinian gunmen.

Persistently violent men with criminal intent have to be taught the hard way. Jail is too soft as there are T.V., video arcades, snooker, movies etc. Jail is too comfortable. If such males refuse to learn, smashing them up physically is perhaps one way. Putting them in a pen with a pit bull or a rottweiler should also teach them. Indonesian police do torture hard core criminals & its worse in Saudi Arabia. Going around murdering women has got to stop. If this continues, it will only get worse. Cody Herman has no fear of the police but he should fear Al Shabab ! The black arse rapper can rap up a tune in Arabic, dancing around at the same time, flapping his genitals ! The movie, Death Wish has the right approach for violent criminals. Charles Bronson blew up criminals like candles being snuffed out on a birthday cake !

That cockhead, Cody Herrmann is the one who murdered Alia Maasawe, the Israeli student. Cody will be rapping his genitals for the rest of his life locked up.Such people like Cody should lose their hands as it was his hands that murdered Alia. If Alia was Muslim, Cody Herrman will have his limbs blown apart and his dick shoved into his mouth. Alia should have lived & Cody Hermann shot.

Anglo-Celtic, African etc. etc. whatever. Troublemakers have to be physically flogged with steel/iron studded belts in public. Australia is a nation of peace & if such men are bent on creating unnecessary trouble, ISIS methods are about the best for them otherwise everybody is going to live in fear of stepping outside & going anywhere. Indonesian Police will smash these men up so hard that there will be no chance of re offending.
As Amran Syed Najib said, the Indonesian Army can re establish law & order where the local police fail.
Injuring bystanders for the fun of it is a serious problem. Imagine if drunk violent men get their limbs blown off Hamas style. That would be funny ! Troublemakers & offenders have to be dealt with especially when strangers get injured for nothing.

African street gangs are slowly taking over Melbourne with individuals being injured or killed in the process.
The Victorian police appear weak in resolving these crimes. If the need arises to shoot violent criminals, just take aim & fire like is done in North Korea. Get all criminal Africans born outside Australia out. Deport them once & for all. It appears that only fire arms will stop such criminals. Or pay the Indonesian Army to come in & finish the job !

Crime ain’t that bad really but I need to lie and scare people into voting for me!

Smash up the bones of any man if he attacks women. Break up the rib cage, twist his arms off and break his jaw. All that should fix him up. If that does not work, get a pistol & blast his genitals off !

Looks like everyone is going to live in fear of home invaders ! No such thing. Even if a violent thug has to be taught a lesson, just do it. Shoot him in his genitals. Smash his head up with a steel bar if he goes too far. And even break his legs really good and see if he will re offend ! One of the best confrontations a thief can have is with a Rottweiler, a German Shepherd or a Mastiff ! Let the dogs out and watch the show ! Imagine that burglar getting bitten in his private parts, his legs & face. The thief forces open the door, you open up his head !

All the security cameras will not stop a determined burglar from breaking in. The best methods(employed in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc.) are to seriously injure an offender by bashing him up very hard and perhaps even breaking his arms & legs. He is certain not to re offend after that ! That poor Queensland tradie(tradu) was bashed up by 13 people but that tradie caused no offence. Indonesians do bash home intruders & burglars up real hard.

You guys are mad or what?! Is there really someone that considers Melbourne as a dangerous city??!? C'moooon.... It's a huge city, of course that there're robbery, violence, etc, etc, but even in the smallest village in the world you'll have it...
Melbourne's safe, brilliant and very special! Don't give your opinion if you have nothing to compare with...

Safe city, never felt threatened.. maybe a bit worried in the early hours of the morning at a nightclub or something. But, during the day - 100% safe. Stay out of suburbs such as Dandenong, Frankston, Broadmeadows, Coburg, etc.. and you'll be fine. Inner city and close suburbs are safe. Lived here for 5 years.

This data are based currently at surveys of 180 people. Some people could have a different views.

You can put all these:
Worries home broken and things stolen
Worries being mugged or robbed
Worries car stolen
Problem property crimes such as vandalism and theft
Problem violent crimes such as assault and armed robbery
To very high now, its been happening every week

I've been living in Melbourne for 25 yrs and its a very safe city. The people are friendly and helpful. Like every city in the world there are occasional incidents that happen but I feel safe walking just about anywhere.
