One of my American friends got off the train in London. A 3 guys jumped high and stole his laptop. He said crime was really high there. I was there in 1982 and had no problems at all. It seemed like a really nice place. What happen?

Crime is against the law in England.... situations like you described shouldn't happen
cos we are weak as fuck when it comes to dealing with it
...but it's illegal! It's against the law!!! Make the criminals behave :eek:
Actually crime is so high in England because Piers "The Enforcer" Morgan is too busy trying to pry guns out of American households rather than use his super powers of Doucheiness to rid England of crime
....actually

Stats are pliable but I've seen reports where the UK's violent crime per capita exceeds ours.
No jobs no hope and no money, we are bombarded adds for the fine things in life, phones, cars ,
clothes, etc with that little badge everybody want's.!
People today expect so much in life, and some people will steamroll others to get it, very sad fact the
amount of strutting fucking drug dealers local pisses me off.
They have never worked in there lives, riding round in there Range Rover Sports it's a fucking disgrace,
the one thing is most of the general public, are descent and hard working.
Remember we don't have the monopoly on bad bastards, all country's round the World have them you
can get rolled in London or Lisbon.:(
Of course Dia, assholes live everywhere...though it'd be nice to have them quarantined in one geographic area.
A main theory of mine is people aren't ashamed of leeching off the government anymore. Welfare used to come with a stigma, now it feeds this idea of entitlement.....that wasn't around when people had to bring in crops to feed their families. People who thought that way were supposed to be too stupid & too lazy to live, I blame the human race for outsmarting Natural Selection
Pick your poison.
UK - Better chance of running into a violent criminal
US - Better chance of that criminal AND you being armed.
I work in the probation service and the government will be privatising it in the next 18 months which is to save money. They have released statistics to say crime has gone down but the reality is crime has been diverted to community resolutions by the police. This means less crime, less courts and less people in prison.
Crime is probably worse with the current climate of high unemployment, inflation and cuts to benefits. People get desperate and greedy.
There will always be bad bastards around thats a fact,the main problem today is that
the future is very bleak for lots of people,Not many jobs about,and people will get
desperate for money.I dont think we are much worse than anywhere else.
Because England got no real court, that's why. ;D
