  2. Don't know how it is in your country, but here in the states, public safety is one of the few functions of the gov both conservatives, and liberals will agree on, yet whenever budgets get cut, police, and fire protection tend to be the first thing to go regardless of who is in office at the time. Personally I'd say it should be the last thing.
  3. No here we are opposite which is good I must say,
    they scrape money together for an even bigger force atm
    because of mainly protest squads/gate crashed parties/city brawls here there and everywhere.
    Its got really bad here, always a stabbing, bashing, knifing or glassing in the face at popular venues and not just once but a few cases, aside from car chases
  4. Crime in the states depends on where you live. Up here in the north country, most crime is either booze, or casual drug related. Usually domestic assaults, or criminal sexual conduct. Gotta alert though. There not common by any means, but there are high speed chases, and shootings up here.
  5. Shootings is pretty scary, like stabbings over here.
  6. We have a problem of young ones walking the streets in groups and
    mugging,bashing loner victims almost to death, so its not safe anymore(if your wise) to be alone leaving trainstations/pubs/streets at night

  7. Pretty uncommon here. More likely to get shot in a hunting accident in this region than any other way.

    Sounds like some of the bigger city's here. Bystanders don't want to be involved.
  9. Murders are also more frequent now too, for various reasons
  10. Violent crime rate has been dropping in the U.S. since like the late 80s.
  11. Here it used to be like a paradise so to speak,
    quiet and tucked away from everything
    but now its getting much much worse
    and not a world for the childless elderly

    What region you in? I have a friend in high school who went to your country as a foreign-exchange student, and he said it was quite nice. I don't remember what territory he went to, but for some reason I'm thinking it was Queensland? Not like that's particularly useful to bring up, but I'm kind of annoyed I cant remember it.
