This year, a survey of 1635 Victorian residents found that the problem of "crime rates" was a matter of greatest concern.
In fact, this is also normal, living in a city, everyone must care about its security good or not.
So here's the question:
Is Melbourne safe or not?
Today, we don't talk about the messy news, we only use the data to speak.
Crime rates have fallen in the last two years in the year to June, according to the latest figures released by the state's Crime Statistics Agency. In particular, in the past year (June 2017-June 2018), the overall crime rate in Victoria has plummeted to even the level it was a decade ago!
Crime rate 2009: 58.5 crime cases per 1000 inhabitants
Crime rate 2018: 59.2 crimes per 1000 inhabitants
And over the past year, the number of criminal cases such as car theft, burglary, and breaking into cars has dropped to its lowest level in 10 years.
Of course, this is just the crime rate in the state as a whole.

Campbellfield
Collingwood
Fitzroy
St Kilda
Broadmeadows
2. The region with the lowest crime rate in Melbourne over the past year:
Some parts of eastern Melbourne have the lowest crime rates, such as:

In the past 10 years, the state police have received 473814 reports of "thieves breaking open doors and stealing watches, cell phones and other valuables inside the car."
Of all the crime reports received by the police, 14% were stolen from cars.
Theft of goods from cars is the most common type of crime in the suburbs of Melbourne's metropolitan area of 2-3.
There is also a more common type of crime: burglary.
Last year, there were 28337 home burglaries in Victoria, averaging one every three hours.
The suburbs with a high incidence of burglary are generally located on the edge of Melbourne in fast-growing areas such as Cranbourne,Clyde,Craigieburn.
In 2009, there were only six cases of Clyde, but last year, there were 217.
Part of the reason is that Clyde has built more new homes over the past few years, many of which are empty and easy to recruit thieves.
This also reminds everybody, return home or go on holiday at the end of the year, must lock the door and window of home, and keep valuables.
Shop theft is the most common type of crime in Chirnside Park,Cheltenham,Keilor Downs, where there are many shopping malls.
5. The type of crime that has increased most in the past decade: illegal families violence intervention order (family violence intervention order).
This type of crime accounted for 1.3% of the police in 2015, but now accounts for 5%.
Last year, the police handled an average of 42 such cases a day.
But this is also due to an increase in the number of restraining orders issued by the court, which now issues an average of 30, 000 per year.
Another type of crime is the violation of the bill.
Last year, this type of crime accounted for 4.4% of the total, averaging 32 cases a day.
However, one type of crime has been greatly reduced, it is: destruction of other people's property. Such as breaking other people's windows, destroying other people's mailbox and so on.
It used to be the most common type of crime in Victoria, but it has steadily declined over the past decade.
