A research group in Adelaide called the HALEY FOUNDATION conducted a study that monitored the crime rate of Sunny Hill during the entire years of 2008 and 2009. The researchers noticed that Ripton Street endured prolific rates of traffic offences compared with the rest of the area. Additionally, they found that most offences were detected during the hours 7pm till 2am each night of the week.
Assaults in the Sunny Hill area occurred most frequently on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Demographically, the majority of offenders and victims were aged between 18 and 25 years. In 2009 there were less assaults reported, but a higher number of people were charged with circumstances of aggravation. This was, in almost all cases, due to weapons such as smashed bottles and belts being used. Sarah Thompson stated, “I think it’s due to all the drugs people are taking these days. They feel like they really need to hurt someone and so they pick up whatever they can find.”
In regards to the incidents of burglary in the area, researchers found no pattern within the area. All streets were marginally affected by such crimes. Mark Barry, a who lives on Burton Street, stated, “I think it is good that there are more young families moving in to the area and people are more active exercising around the neighbourhood. It seems a very safe place to live.”
The HALEY FOUNDATION intend to conduct another study for a similar period of time commencing in 2018.
