1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Right. The government's very happy patting itself on the back,

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: although they did hasten to add that these numbers are volatile.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: We won't get official numbers through until June. But in

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: terms of victims of crime, this is the Crime and

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Victims survey. They reckon there have been one hundred and

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: fifty seven thousand victims of crime in the year to February.

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: The target was one hundred and sixty five by twenty

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine. So on these numbers targets twenty five thousand

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: fewer by twenty twenty nine, they're already at twenty eight

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: thousand fewer. Does this stack up? Dairy and Business Owners

00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: What are you saying?

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: Yes? So, first of all, on behalf of the daily

17

Speaker 2: and honors across the country. I want to sincerely congregulate

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: the coalition governments for taking minnipus to tackle the violence time.

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: So do you think these numbers make sense? You're seeing

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: less violent crime in your in your shops.

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, number of clients has declined. Yeah. So according to

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: police data for the year ending thirty thirty first January

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, retail assaults have declined by two percent

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: and the first state seems a little bit modest number,

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: but still it is sixty eight fewer crimes.

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Excellent. What do you think is making the difference, Manish.

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is making a lot different mister. Yeah, governments

28
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: still need to do more. We are still behind. Were

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: forty eight percent compared to twenty nineteen and twenty.

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good thing. It's going in the right direction, Manisha.
