ARMADALE is Perth’s most violent suburb, according to new crime statistics that reveal it had almost 10 assaults reported every week in the three months to October.

The statistics show Armadale tops the metropolitan area for domestic assaults at 72 incidents and is ranked fourth for non-domestic assaults (53) — behind only entertainment precincts the Perth CBD (172), Northbridge (104) and Fremantle (60).

Gosnells was also a hotspot for domestic assaults with 61, followed by Ellenbrook (58), Baldivis (52), Midland (44) and Thornlie (37) in the top five.

The more detailed figures — released for the first time this week — were compiled under new Australian Bureau of Statistics reporting practices that align WA with other States.

The data will now be posted quarterly on the crime statistics portal of the WA Police website and made available for the public to search.

Armadale ranked second with 1243, ahead of Fremantle (887), Morley (800), Northbridge (761) and Midland (744).

Nollamara has emerged as Perth’s home burglary capital with 81 burglaries reported in the three-month period at an average of almost one a day.

It compares with 233 home burglaries there for all of 2016-17 and 236 in 2015-16 — though some of the recent spike could be the result of the change in reporting procedures.

Other metro hotspots for home burglaries are Gosnells (78), Morley (77), Armadale (76) and Thornlie (63). Car thefts in the past quarter were most prevalent in Gosnells (24), followed by Maddington (23), Armadale (22), Bayswater (20) and Morley (18).

In launching the new statistics portal, WA Police said the move to more rigorous reporting procedures had been complex and included technical and recording changes as well as improved governance.

“A detailed quality assurance process to ensure the accuracy of the information was undertaken (before) the launch,” a statement said.

“The WA Police force is committed to providing more comprehensive, reliable data to paint a more meaningful crime picture for police, policymakers and the public.”

The crime statistics portal upgrade includes an overview of trends, a tool providing interactive data and charts for suburbs and more information on each offence category.
