Just a question?

Dont see why this question would be reported. Well, what you really have to ask is, 'is this country violent'. The suicide bombings are a rare occasion, there has been the one major london incident and the attempt at glasgow. Just two major events, compare that to the IRA bombing that have stopped since the late 80s and used to take place very often. As for youth crime, that has declined but is talked about a lot more. The mods and rockers of the 1960s were almost at war, today there is just a handful of people commiting crime through boredom and a lack of dicipline and is confined mainly to working or lower cl areas, the mods and rockers came from all cl backgrounds. Security at special events has been strengthened due to the amount of stabbing that used to take place in busy public areas, music gigs and celebrations, today, stabbing only seem to take place in secluded empty streets. The only type of violence that has increased is drink related violence, something which the government has been trying to reduce for the last few years, but if you know which areas are dangerous to walk through, avoid them or dont go drinking. The media causes these huge panics when nothing is going on, its just something to write about so the newspaper companies can make a bit of money while the celebrities aren't doing anything interesting, if you want to know the truth you need to byp the media and look at some real statistics, or even better, physcial get out of the house and whitness much crime is actually going on. I see fights every weekend and have always seen drunk fights since I was able to go out drinking 8 years ago.
