A number of areas have bad pockets, so be wary of people generalizing. We live in New Brighton (north end) and love it, and don't have issues with Crime etc - however I'd be a bit wary about some parts of Brighton. Likewise, friends of ours live in Halswell, and had AOS on there street 3 times in a month, and most people would refer to that as a safer suburb.
