newjez Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thought they might have broken into some of the wealthy suburbs? Probably just drugs related I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Dianella as a lot of retired Italians and Chinese settled down there, some from the beginning of that area with massive and lavish homes, no wonder it is targeted by scumbags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Gosnells and Thornlie are neighbouring suburbs. Both are large with major roads and the rail line transversing them, and they also have two distinct areas. One being older properties with a lot of social housing, and the other newer properties that are mostly owner occupied. Unfortunately the social housing areas attract a lot of undesirables and youth who prefer to roam the streets rather than get an education, hence a lot of crime, especially in the newer areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest263228 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Gosnells has come ahead in leaps and bounds over recent years. It has a progressive council which enhanced the area in the way of urban design but of course any locality, where large numbers of disadvantaged people are placed will encounter certain issues. Just another battler suburb in many respects with a lot doing the best they can. Does have plus points. Close to nature. View of mountains. A good train link to the city. A multi cultural population that may well have softened some of the 'hard edges' found a few decades back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not too surprised. The suburbs along the Thornlie line can be dire. I worked for a company that banned staff from getting to Maddington by train due to the danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Is this people with home insurance? Surely the data would be skewed by people who don't have house insurance and therefore have put in no claim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandgroper Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'd say this data is a little skewed most of those suburbs are the larger ones perhaps burglaries per 1000 people in a particular suburb would be a more accurate way of reporting?
