Information About

Crime In The Northern Territory




]]
The Northern Territory of Australia has the highest level of crime per capita of any state or territory in Australia . Darwin has per capita the highest Crime Rate of any Australian city, while Alice Springs has the second highest crime rate of any Australian city (and the highest murder rate). In spite of this, the Northern Territory has no known Organised Crime , and the majority of crime is alcohol related or in relation to issues surrounding Indigenous Australians .

The Northern Territory is sparsely populated, with the lowest population per square km of any state or territory in Australia (and one of the lowest in the world), which leads to the general feeling that you can do anything, and that nobody will be able to help you if something happens to you. On average 30 000 people go missing in Australia every year, some of which occur in this isolated area.
