Why is crime so high in England?

[Mars_ax]

cos we are weak as fuck when it comes to dealing with it

I doubt that crime is high in the UK, certainly not any higher then what we have in the States, this kid who posted the OP is a fucking nitwit.

Stats are pliable but I've seen reports where the UK's violent crime per capita exceeds ours.

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.

Violent crime is interpreted different from country to country and area to area. Spitting can come under the same banner as getting shot.

Statistics... pfft (all about manipulation).

I know facts and logic are your kryptonite but this is what one would call pot calling the kettle black.

"...the Home Office dismissed the statistics as "absolute nonsense", saying that the average American is seven times more likely to be murdered than their British counterpart and 60 times more likely to be shot"

BBC News | UK | UK crime worse, says US report.

To be SHOT....considering how many guns there are in America vs how many there are in England "60 times more likely" ain't all that great a statistic

All things considered... I'll choose the "60 times less likely".
