Crime city Christchurch too scary for women
By IAN STEWARD - The Press | Saturday, 21 June 2008
“Rising violent crime has made more than two-thirds of Christchurch women more fearful for their safety than they were five years ago, a new study of attitudes toward crime shows.
“With violent crime rates increasing in the city and several recent high-profile cases in which women were victimized, 71 per cent of women said they felt less safe than they did in 2003.
“The study, commissioned by The Press for its Eye on Crime series which starts today, paints a picture of people living in fear of crime that is perceived as growing in seriousness and volume. …
“Of female respondents, 38 per cent said they felt ‘a lot less safe’ and 33 per cent said they felt “a little less safe” than they did in 2003. The rest said they felt about the same as they did five years ago, while none said they felt safer. …
“‘There is a perception of people being frightened for their own personal safety. We’ve had women in their 50s, confident businesswomen, who would not go into town on their own at night. There is a real awareness of street violence out there.’”
“Herbert said there was ‘quite a marked increase’ in the severity of violence towards women.”
Unfortunately, the report “weaselwords” its way through statistics and stops short of providing detailed analysis of the level of violence in New Zealand and the crimes which are mostly committed against foreign visitors, Asians and other minorities. Further, the report limits its “findings” to Christchurch and leaves out other major violent cities like Auckland and Wellington.
