Why is crime so high in England?

[Master]

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).
