About NZ Crime Data
NZ Crime Data is an independent platform built to make crime statistics across New Zealand more accessible, transparent, and easy to understand. Our goal is to help individuals, families, researchers, and communities make informed decisions with clear and accurate data.
Our Purpose
This platform exists to:
- Provide accurate and regularly updated crime statistics for suburbs and regions across New Zealand
- Empower communities with data-driven insights into local safety trends
- Support researchers, journalists, and policymakers with clear access to public data
- Encourage open conversation about crime and safety in New Zealand
Data Sources
Our data comes directly from official New Zealand Police statistics and open data releases. We process, normalize, and present this data in an easy-to-understand format while preserving its accuracy. All statistics are historical and reflect reported incidents at the time of release.
How to Use the Platform

- Search for crime statistics by suburb or region
- Explore detailed breakdowns by category (e.g., burglary, assault, theft)
