1。 The laws here are more tolerant of juvenile delinquency and juvenile delinquency. As a result, there are more burglaries and bag snatching. Most of them are teenagers seeking excitement. By the way, they can get some money to buy cigarettes and wine. If they are caught, they will be sentenced to dozens of hours of community service, which is why the police are too lazy to catch them. But the advantage of this legal measure is that there are few vicious crimes in the whole society, most criminals are lazy, stupid and timid, and there are few murders for hundreds of dollars.
2。 Vehicle theft is more serious, and most of them are teenagers. After stealing the car, they went out to tow the car and left it on the side of the road when they ran out of gas. Because the vehicle has a national tracking system, it will be caught sooner or later if it continues to drive, and the stronghold that modifies the car without authorization will be severely punished by the police.
3。 On the issue of defense, the law here does not advocate that the victim confront the criminal. The disadvantage is that criminals are easy to get. Someone robbed a convenience store with a knife, and even someone went to a heavily guarded bank and handed a note that read: I have a gun on me and I can succeed with how much cash I have. But its advantage is that the degree of violence in crime is not high, and it is generally for money and will not attack the victims. Armed cold-blooded bandits are unheard of in this society.
4。 Locals rarely have cash around them and wear expensive jewelry. Before the arrival of a large number of Asian immigrants, there were few things to grab bags.
5。 Locals like to spend money on eating, drinking and having fun, and there are not many valuable small things at home. Jewelry, electrical appliances and furniture all have property insurance.
In view of these characteristics, I suggest the following:
1。 Choosing a noble community to live in, young criminals usually start from the communities they are familiar with, that is, those communities where the poor live, with the most burglary cases. Don't leave valuables at home, take your laptop with you. Try to avoid bad teenagers on the road.
2。 Buy a relatively new European car with an electronic lock, even if it is pried open, it won't start. Besides, don't put your bag in the car.
3。 Don't resist, stay calm, remember all the details and call the police immediately afterwards.
4。 Credit cards and bank cards, less cash, no expensive jewelry, no LV bags.
5。 If you have valuables, you'd better buy property insurance.
By doing the above, the probability of victimization can be reduced by more than 90%.
In fact, when I came, I knew that the overall social atmosphere in New Zealand was very simple, friendly and relaxed, which was very different from the situation in which people in China were wary of each other.
The above is my experience in living in Auckland for more than ten years, for reference only.
