Crime in the Northern Territory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
