Is there a lot of crime in Christchurch?

"Like any city, Christchurch, experiences some level of crime. However, compared to other major cities worldwide, the crime rate is relatively low. The most common types of crime are property-related, such as theft and burglary. Violent crime does occur but is less common. The local police force is active and responsive, and there are numerous community initiatives in place to help prevent crime and maintain the city's overall safety. It's important to note that crime rates can vary between different areas of the city. Despite this, Christchurch is generally considered a safe place to live and visit," said another expat in Christchurch, New Zealand.
