Do people live normal lives in Auckland?

Question

I hear the crime is quite bad in Auckland.

Can women go for walks by themselves with dogs in afternoons in the suburbs?

Do children safely walk to and from school?

Or is it too dangerous?

Stories please.

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

depends on where in auckland you are. it's generally fine. i walk home from school, my mum goes for walks at all times of the day, my little brothers also walk home from school. basically the media blows some of it out of proportion. however you do have to be wary, as with any city anywhere.

Answer 2

Answer 6

Yes.Most of Auckland is perfectly safe. Parts of Auckland have bad crime statistics, and it certainly pays to be vigilant, but generally it is perfectly safe to live a normal life.Most children go to and from school walking, by bus or car - often because it is more convenient for their parents to drop them off on the way to and from work, or they have other commitments they need to get to.
