新州日趋太平，维州暴力犯罪却与日俱增

上週公佈最新犯罪数据显示，维州暴力犯罪依旧与日俱增。

虽然某类别的犯罪呈现下降趋势，但在人身攻击犯罪仍逐步上升，对比三年前，这类犯罪增长 17%。

家庭入侵犯罪–当居民在家时，歹徒依然强制入侵家庭所造成抢劫或偷窃，即为家庭入侵犯罪。

此类犯罪对比 2014 年同期，家庭入侵犯罪增长高达 48%。 与此同时，新州家庭入侵犯罪则大幅度下降。

对比维州的刑罚软弱，新州对罪犯的判决相对严厉许多。我们需要维州推动改革，加重量刑，不能再重罪轻判，使歹徒肆无忌惮的为所欲为。

Violent crime rising in Victoria, falling in NSW

The latest crime statistics published last week show that violent crime is continuing to rise in Victoria.

While some categories of crime have fallen, crimes of attack and assault on people have continued to rise. These crimes are now 17% higher than they were just three years ago.

Crimes such as home invasion – when offenders enter to rob and steal while residents are at home – are now 48% higher than they were in 2014, at the same time as crime has been falling dramatically in NSW.

Sentences for criminals in NSW are much tougher that in Victoria. We need stronger sentences in Victoria so criminals can’t simply keep on offending.
