they suggest that new zealand actually has a higher rate of crime.... and it is from a new zealand government website...

Answer 3

This is a question which involves good research.  The main problem is with comparing statistics.  You need to find a study which has taken potential statistical variables into account.  I would also be more inclined to compare specific statistics (violent crimes are worse than graffitti).  Another issues that skews results is relative reportage rates.  Looking up statistics on a website and comparing them is unsatisfactory.  OECD studies, while not entirely reliable and strongly contestable, give the best examples for comparison.

Answer 4

Australia
