Is Violent Crime On the Increase?

[Hecktix]

For a while now the topic of violent crime has been discussed throughout the nation, are the rates of it going up or down?

I live in a small city, in the East Midlands. You don't hear of much crime around here. But in the last three months an old lady has been sexually assaulted in her own home. Three pensioners have been battered to death by youths with baseball bats and the Police have just recovered a body from a local estate.

Look at the news, Boy of 15 Shot Dead in manchester.

Violent crime is clearly on the increase. It needs stopping.

SO WHY ARE THE POLICE TOO BUSY CATCHING SPEEDING MOTORISTS!

[-:Undertaker:-]

Its all Labour's fault, I agree - They care more about motorists parking on Yellow Lines.

[::d4nnyt::]

Hmm I dunno maybe it isn't going up maybe there is just more media coverage? Not knowing how they work out the statistics I don't really have any idea if they are really going up or down.


Its all Labour's fault, I agree - They care more about motorists parking on Yellow Lines.

One thing which really anoys me is mottorists who park in bus stops I think they should do them instead of doing speeding motorists. Then at least if I miss the bus because of some idiot parking in a bus stop, the next bus maybe a bit quicker!

Now im not a Tory follower. But hasn't david cameron said he would do something about the Police if he got into power?

[-:Undertaker:-]

I think it's definatly going up, Years ago people had respect for eachother, Not now.

[Hecktix]

I hate the way that as Teenagers we are stereotyped as yobs.

Criminals take our respect away from us.

Bleh i agree, older people look down on us. Its only a small percentage of us that do stuff thats wrong, sadly A percentage on the rise.

I think it's shocking. Nottingham is very dodgy, I assume lots more violent crime (assaults), don't get reported either.

Yeah you are probably right there.

And Yes Nottingham is very dodgy. It's cool though, I saw the Subways there on Tuesday Night. xD

[Liberation]

I think it is. I live in a Tiny village in West Sussex. And 3 months ago it was quite with basically no noise atall. And nothing going on. but now in the last 3 weeks 5 houses have all been robbed. So i personally think its going up.

[Hecktix]

It's sure going up. Stupid Government

[alexxxxx]

It's sure going up. Stupid Government

+ Stupid Criminals.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I support Conservative, But I support RIGHT-WING Conservative, David Cameron is going to the Left/Middle which is what Labour is, Margret Thacther was Right-Wing and I think she was the best PM ever, She defeated the Unions, I Don't support David Cameron I hope he gets booted out or Gets defeated in the Election - I count myself as Conservative/BNP

[Hecktix]

;2192082']+ Stupid Criminals.

Yes Yes. Lol.

+ Stupid Police Forces.

[alexxxxx]

Conservative/BNP

I hope you mean UKIP not BNP, otherwise you're considered a racist to me.

[Hecktix]

UKIP are also raciest.

If you do mean BNP. You're a ********************* in my opinion.

[alexxxxx]

UKIP isn't AS bad. But I still don't agree. =]

[Hecktix]

I cant believe he just admitted he is a supporter of the British Nazi Party.. Sorry I mean British Nationalist Party

[-:Undertaker:-]

I support BNP becasue im sick of British people being given the bad deal, Britain comes first, NOT Africa or Immagrants.

Also Supporting BNP isnt racist.

[Hecktix]

I agree with some of your points.

But I Do NOT agreee with BNP Methods.

I agree with BNP's Ideas, Although I do not agree that WORKING Asians and Blacks should be kicked out of the Country.

[alexxxxx]

I agree that more money should be used to sort out Britain rather than wasting it abroad, but also the BNP want all the non-white people out and the people who run it are racists.

Oh, and I think that Asylum Seekers should be allowed to work.

I think we should kick out the NON-WORKING Immagrants because its like a Sponge on Britain, Although I welcome people into the country who WILL WORK, Oh and also I believe if a Immagrant commits a Crime here they should be deported.

[Porosity]

I think Its from more media coverage, they are reporting everything now

[Hecktix]

Oh and also I believe if a Immagrant commits a Crime here they should be deported

Ok... So being a British Citizen gives you the right to commit a crime and stay in the country?

yeah. You can't get deported if you are a british citizen. Its like international law.

Every country has it's own scum, Why would we want any more?

[Hecktix]

I think a multi cultural society is a good thing.

[FlyingJesus]

And we can't exactly deport our own criminals, who would take them?

Haha last time we deported British criminals they took over the country we sent them to, and now it's a really successful place ^_^

[alexxxxx]

I think a multi cultural society is a good thing.

I do too. :)

[-:Undertaker:-]

I don't, It causes tension and Crime.

[Wootzeh]

No more people are dieing than 5years ago, it's just the press have nothing else to report on.

[FlyingJesus]

We weren't made for multicultural societies. We were made for tribal life where we are all similar, hence why we started that way. Metropolitan life works ok but not as well, it's just easier because of business. In the old days (like, prehistoric) we killed anyone who argued with us, because we aren't programmed to like change. When tribes had treaties, it was generally just for trade, or so they didn't have to fight, and it would be with tribes similar to your own.

A monocultured society would work better because we could only pick on the little differences, and over time they too would be ironed out.

[alexxxxx]

The only problem with monocultured societies, they start to hate people who are different to them. Thinking they are inferior (like when the slave trade started).

It only causes tension if when people create tension. In my area, there is little racist hatred.

[-Soph-]

Yeah its definatly going up, We got robbed on christmas night last year.

[RedStratocas]

Yeah, but it depends on who youre testing. If its the entire nation or just a portion.

Whats crazy is how the crime rates increase during wars. There are some studies out and when the U.S. is in a war, the crime rates increase. Its almost scary

[YouFail]

92% Of All Stats Are Made Up
Everyone knows that...

Well I think it is

Haha, I always say '73.4% of statistics are made up on the spot' when someone starts naming a bunch of numbers.

[Eoin]

SO WHY ARE THE POLICE TOO BUSY CATCHING SPEEDING MOTORISTS!

Because speeding motorists probably kill more people than murderers?

[-:Undertaker:-]

Speeding motorists are less of a Danger than Murderers.

In my opinion Muderers are much more dagerous to society, I reckon its time to get the Death Penalty back :8

How are they more dangerous if there are less of them? Both ways, you die, I dont think one can be more dangerous when you take in that fact, there can just be more cases of one type.
