esperence Quote "I'd be more worried about getting mugged by a local than by someone who doesn't know this country well and has been here only for a short time."

Obviously you don't live in Victoria, or possible Queensland as the Africans appear to be copying the Victorian model up there.

Philip S the numbers are not hight that is of persons of African descent committing crimes
BUT their crimes are taking place and the number of crimes they are involved in are higher too high
Yes true and maybe rather than blaming their back ground we should ask courts to play their roll in ending it
But even given all that I walked without fear every day in a place they settled in number while working

I live in Victoria and the scare tactics of
supposedly - Sudanese attacks were used by Mathew Guy
to win the Victorian election. It didn't work
The Liberals lost. And doing more of the same
federally will produce the same results.
Voters are sick of these outmoded fear-mongering
techniques.

Belly When you lock up or deport enough of the cowards, crimes committed by them numerically is bound to go down.

Foxy You and your links.

Quote "There’s no link between ‘‘repeat offenders’’ and ethnicity;"
Funny thing about that statement is nearly every time one is caught over the age of 18 it is also reported he is already on bail for other offenses.

Quote "There are about 150 young Africans involved in crimes"
Then why do police and media report groups of 200 some times?

Quote "Victoria’s overall crime rate fell by 9.9 per cent last year."
I have already on other threads shown reports of police manipulating figures, go find them, also like the unemployment figure only a fool would believe them 100%.

Quote "the perpetrators, most of whom are known to the police, deserve and receive the measured force of our already robust laws and criminal justice system."
Frequently the police have held back and done nothing when there are large numbers involved, no offense committed low statistics.

Assessment your link is not worth the paper the age would have printed it on.

Saturday, Dec 15th 2018 "A violent gang of African youths have robbed and bashed four teenagers after more than 200 unwelcome revellers gatecrashed an Airbnb party.

Police swooped on the short-stay rental home in Point Cook, in Melbourne's west, on Friday night when the party descended into chaos at about 10pm.

When the mob was dispersed 'without incident', knife-welding thugs started robbing partygoers of their mobile phones and shoes, police said."

Too many to continue, you hear about them nearly every 2nd day.
