There's quite a lot wrong with all of the articles relating to Crime in Australia, but I am proposing that the articles currently named by city each be merged into a state-level article. In each case, the crime statistics and police services relate to the whole state or territory, and with population density outside the major cities being so low, I can't see a case for separate articles for each. I would like to do the same for all of the other states and territories for consistency and in hope of better accuracy. Perhaps best to keep all general discussion on the Crime in Australia talk page? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge now done. Talk section below has been copied from Crime in Brisbane talk page. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:11, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could post up about the crime in brisbane cbd and especially the major shopping centre next to the mall, includes gassings and drink/food spikings. Not to mention harassment by underage 'gangsta's' smoking their lungs out...and being assaulted by apparently drug affected perpetrators at a certain shopping centre at browns plains, then the victim being banned. While security accuse you of a bs crime and try to get you charged with it. The security are also fucking blind and stupid. Or getting almost assaulted by drug affected homeless in the queen st mall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.138.16.95 (talk • contribs)

These statistics are unverified and I doubt if they are correct... 100 murders per 100,000 people? That's way worse than any city in the US. It needs to be updated but I don't know that the real statistics are... Binarypower (talk) 16:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
