Crime among girls on the rise

StoryThe number of crimes committed by girls in England and Wales has gone up by 25% in three years - according to figures
Crimes among boys in the same period has dropped by 2%.
Any thoughts on this? Are headteachers now bringing the police in to deal with incidents they would have dealt with in house in the past? (If so, I don't see why this would disproportionately affect girls). Are they drinking in significantly greater amounts? Have they suddenly realised that cosmetics are really easy to steal and worth a lot of money?

I swear to god if he thinks that teenage girls nicking cosmetics is something he's only noticed recently then he really needs to think about whether he should do the job he's doing...
I mean - that was an old fashioned storyline when it was included in grange Hill 20 years ago and Byker Grove 15 years ago and it was probably in Dixon of Dock bloody Green.
Obviously there's some more interesting stuff in that report but that level of stupidity does undermine pretty much whatever he has to say.
What in Gods name do you actually mean?! Surely you're a bit young and right wing to be blaming Thatcher.
This doesn't make much sense. Society still exists, and there isn't really a biological difference between boys and girls so there's no reason why boys would be affected first.
Did you fancy answering my point?
SG isn't right wing - he's def a leftie.
Society has been breaking down since the Romans, all we can do is patch it up again with a few plasters and send it out to fight like a broken down boxer
Strangely enough I was sticking to the topic.
So, how has society broken down, and what if anything can we possibly do?
I don't even know what "the breakdown of society" means. It sounds like one of those nothing-phrases that Call Me Dave occasionally comes out with in response to a stabbing.
"Oooh it's The Breakdown of Society. Vote Tory"
Of course there is biological and psychological difference between boys and girls - don't believe everything they tell you in your gender studies class.
lol
Did you miss sex ed at school?
ignore me, I'm being deliberately ignorant..
Exactly, the Police have targets to 'bring offenders to justice' so what used to be dealt with harsh words and a stern warning is now dealt with by charging them.
Which tells us nothing about the breakdown of society.
How has it broken down and how can we fix it?
Society's been breaking down since the middle ages. Still not broken yet. I blame the liberals myself. The liberals with their immoral hellholes such as Sweden and Finland. Sure, they have the best education, healthcare and crime prevention, and the lowest rates of every social ill, but they don't publicly hang criminals from trees. And I don't want to live in a society where filthy criminals aren't hanged from trees.
To be fair all oppositions talk about the breakdown in society - Thatcher was talking about pre-79, Foot, Kinnock, Smith and Blair harped on about it during the 80s and 90's, Cameron now and in a few years David Miliband will be harping on about it whilst he's leader of the opposition.
it miracously gets fixed when the party in opposition changes to the party in power
There are lots of biological differences between boys and girls. At the very least men tend to be more aggressive. What's being said is that girls also seem to be getting more addressive and becoming involved in crimes such as robberies and assault on a wider scale than before.
Everyone's been aggressive at some point, it usually means shouting or at worst throwing some of your stuff around. Agression doesn't lead to crime.
