Data analysis finds Wellington CBD worst for assaults per capita in NZ

From Morning Report, 7:31 am on 22 October 2020

An data expert says cases of assault in Wellington CBD are likely much higher because many people never report assault to the police.

Dot Loves Data released a new report that shows Wellington CBD has the highest rate of assault per capita in New Zealand.

In Courtney Place and Cuba Street case numbers are ten times higher than the New Zealand average.
