The whole "crime capital" thing being tacked on to the story is ridiculous. Never let facts get in the way of a good story I guess! According to the ABS, Victoria has the second lowest rate of offenders per capita of any Australian state or territory (order is ACT, VIC, TAS, SA, WA, NSW, NT).

Committing these crimes on bail should be a substantially aggravating circumstance to any charge and incur a minimum sentence.
