Another shooting in the uk, 2 people shot,
how long will it take and how many people will have to die before the police do something. they're so busy fighting THE WAR ON TERRORISUM that they are forgetting about gun crimes from inside the uk not from other Arabs/isralis.
the uk wide polce operation to crack down on terrorisum is going well but when people get shot in shootings due to inside they uk they ignore it
your views please?

All this stuff happening means i cant go out at night for my before bed walk with out a huge risk of ending up dead, raped or mugged. So bloody crap! Grrrr Arrrg! *does end of buffy monster hand movement*
can you give me a link or more info plz rude_boyz?
Rising crime is going to be a way of life over the next decade or so. It's not nice, but it could make for some interesting politics...
Yes a lot of gun crimes are related to drugs, but thats really only because of the legal situation surrounding them. The drugs industry is worth upwards of 8 billion a year, there are quite a few people who will kill for that kind of money.
There's always going to be someone out there who wants to fuck another person over for whatever reason.
But the police can't be everywhere at once and there aren't enough police to curb the growing crime rate in the uk.
:yes:
no matter how many police they have, crime will always be an issue.
i'm off to go do criminology at uni, then join the policeforce.
i think :chin:
The buggers like knives in my lil area, tis much more scary than a gun. i can cope with guns, had a mate pull a gun at me the other week and i just looked himin the eyes and told him to shoot me if he had the guts cos it would save me the bother.....he put it down.
hmmm, I would seriously re-consider your friendship.
OK apart from fact this should be in politics do you really think international policy restricts the police force in this country. I know lets have the army patrol our streets with assault rifles and tell them to shoot anyone who they believe to be dangerous. Stop blowing things out of proportion.
Aye, sound advice from the Shy one.
But its not growing Shogun, everyone thinks it is, but you are the least likely to be a victim of crime in the UK now than you have been since the 80's.
Still what can I do? Nothing thats what!
Why the fuck does the goverment start wars with over countrys when it hasnt even got our country under control, If something doesnt happen we will end up like the usa (No offence to any people from the usa) but gun crime and viloence has been on the increase in the last few years,
oooh oooh yes, i remember now *thinks back to a-level sociology last year*...moral panic and stuff.
the media make it out to be something its not...the crime figures arent rising, statistics show this.
but when the media report a story, it all gets brought about and everyone thinks there's a really big epidemic but there's not.
but...some figures get missed out of the statistics..like rape victims who dont want to go to the police etc, and sometimes people are too scared. oooh, i remember now! :yes:
a few years ago there were about 50 shootings in leeds in one year (all drug related). but they hushed that one up nicely. it was interesting the way they were only mentioned in the local news after the first couple.
thing is, in leeds at least, people are scared about the amount of shootings, but almost all of them are drug-related, so if you haven't pissed off any dealers lately, you're pretty safe.
i think those figures are complete bollox. more like a month. or even worse a week. think how big the uk is.
i would have had a gun pulled on me if it was as easy to get one back then as it is now.
We've had more than that
Funnily crime rates rocketed when the asylum seekers landed.
I'd rather have two people shot in leeds than have an iraqi bomb land on my head
Not complete bollox
did any one see the film bowling for columbine about the shootings in columbine high school.
well they had figures on there for gun crime and the usa has roughtly 1600ish murders a year due to gun crime but the uk has 160ish a year but the murders although there are over 200 incidents every week in the uk,
http://www.ukcjweblog.org.uk/categories/statisticsAndReports/
some reasons for this are
-illegal imigrants
-drugs
-car thefts
-armed robbery
those are a few reason for the rate of gun crime rising in the uk
This is a little section i copyed from a website i saw
"It is being suggested that because violent crime is on the increase in this country the handgun ban introduced in 1997 isn’t working."
Have you any figures to back that up what so ever, its just a rash generalisation isnt it, crime figures have NOT "rocketed" at all. The fear of crime is WAY out of step with what is actualy happening on the ground.
Yes I aggree that gun crime is something of concern, but its really not all that bad. Try and see things as they actualy are not as the papers try to portray them.
"This is a little section i copyed from a website i saw

The problem with that statement is that it takes no account of what the situation would be like if we didnt have the ban. Yes because there are guns on the street the ban isnt working fully, but that doesnt mean its a bad idea, or thats its not working at all.
Maybe so but there's still alot of crime about.
After reading about them turkish gangs that were raided in london there the other day it shows there's alot of crime going on the police don't really know about, just think of the amount of crime that is operating secretly and no one knows about it.
Let's take a look at this country in 10 years, do you honestly think the crime rate is going to decrease in the next 10 years if we continue at the rate now.
All this crime has alot to do with drugs and with more and more people trying drugs a younger age it can't be good for the country,crime is going to go up.
oh for fuck sake, i'm sayin its complete bollox cus the number is far too small.
read before you write.
i was just saying what she said bout the figures wasnt bollox. she was pretty close actually.
apparently my town has the worst teenage crime rate in the world.
truth is we have the most recorded teenage crimes, cus there dumb enough to get caught.
i'm sure theres a lot of worse places for it than here, just it doesn't get recorded
figure don't tell you anything.
Drug law reform will happen over the next ten years and I hope this will make an impact upon the crime rates. But well these things come in cycles, there may well be a loosening of the law and then a swing to the right and a clamp down.
I'd also aggree that this country has problems, but I really dont aggree with the doomsday predictions that we're all going to hell in a handbasket. The country isnt falling apart, the crime rate isnt shooting up, there are NOT floods of criminal asylum seekers....the list goes on.
