is it true that crime has skyrocketed,especially armed robbery and other crimes in which guns have been used?

There was a letter circulating on the Internet, ostensibly from an Australian policeman, which gave some scary statistics about greatly increased crime down under. I just wanted to check this out.

iansand, you suspected wrong, and the bocsar stats do not necessarily back you up.

No and we haven't had any school massacres or any others either.
Guns aren't banned in Australia we just have strict procedures(like not letting a man with a mental history buy a gun) to get a license and we don't allow the selling of assault rifles why you need one I don't know.
The only reason crime has risen is because of the use of Chrystal meth and other drugs and I don't think we are the only country in the world with that problem
See we also have very strict immigration laws the thing I find ironical the people that agree with those don't agree with our gun laws.

" An Armed Society, Is A Polite Society". I Can Believe Everything You Are Saying! The Criminals are having a free for all on The Citizens of Australia! Any Chance They Will Bring The Gun Ownership Law back? I Can Just See All These Punk A$$ Thugs Preying on The Elderly And Basically Anyone They Want! Who Is Gonna Be Afraid Of A Baseball Bat When You Are Locked And Loaded???How Did They Expect The General Public To Protect Their Homes And Families By Doing This? In America, I Think The Politicians Wouldn't Want To Try That One! They Might Find Some Buckshot In Their A$$.

No. It is not true.
I suspect that accurate information is the last thing you want, but have a look here. http://www.bocsar.nsw.gov.au/
