Ballarat crime rate worse than New York's



Acc. to a news report on the ABC, on a per capita basis there are more violent crimes in Ballarat than New York! You are 4 times more likely to be assaulted in Ballarat than in NY!!

I would like to hear from locals what their take is on that.... Although having seen some of your mugshots here on IIS, maybe you are the ones skewing the statistics...
