Crime & safety NSW and Victorian crime figures cannot be compared

NSW BOCSAR (Jan-Dec 2025) and CSA Victoria (year ending June 2026) record crime on different bases - police recording practices differ between states, so a count from one is not comparable to a count from the other. We do not place them side by side. SuburbRadar does not rate suburbs as safe or unsafe.
