Questions about safety in Wellington
Is Wellington safe?
Not from police-reported crime: Wellington has no figure of its own. Nearby places with figures give some idea, no more.
What is the Crime Severity Index?
Rather than counting incidents, it weighs them, so a robbery moves it far more than a shoplifting. Statistics Canada scales it to 100 for Canada in 2006.
