The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

We carry only a partial picture of Christchurch.

There is no vetted homicide or robbery rate on file, so no composite score, and just two of the five incidence categories are populated, which keeps this entry provisional. Where the data is clear is on advisories: all four governments we track, the US, Canada, Britain, and Australia, hold New Zealand at their lowest level, normal precautions, with no disagreement. The advisories covering the country still note pickpocketing and scams for travellers. We hold no survey figure on how safe residents feel walking alone at night, so there is nothing to weigh against the recorded crime picture here.
