Press watch – Sin City says Bob Bottom

An article published in the West Australian on Tuesday 16th August seems to corroborate the above reports. It is entitled ‘Perth home to criminal gangs’ and goes on to say

“Perth has just one less organised crime group than the infamous gangster city of Chicago, according to Australian crime analyst Bob Bottom [who] revealed that three of Australia’s highest-risk organised crime groups are running their rackets out of Perth... “There are other subsidiary groups in Perth and regional areas that still have national significance,” Mr Bottom said.”

We will go on to address the issue of crime and excitement, discussing gangs first and general crime second. The context of this discussion is drawn from our Ozsurvey source which suggests that Perth is a great place to live because of its safety.
