Hong Kong crime climbs 4.6% in Q1.
Deceptions rose 25.5%, wounding and serious assault cases 11.5%, serious narcotics offences 39.3%.
Burglaries dropped 20.1%, robberies 28.3% and homicides 62.5%.
Noting there was a 17.5% rise in the number of juvenile offenders and 18.2% in young offenders in the quarter, Mr Lee said the Government will step up its education and publicity programme to raise young people's awareness of the consequences of committing crimes.
Enhanced enforcement by Police and Customs officers saw a rise in drug seizures. They seized 28kg of methylamphetamin in the quarter, up 1,300% over a year earlier. The seizure of cannabis rose 618.5% and that of ecstasy 665.8%. Nevertheless, seizure of ketamine fell 94.9%.

Sounds like some criminal activity going on, but you feel safe there, don't you. Well I feel safe here. I just looked out the window and didn't see any roving bands of murderers.... never have.
I know where to find them, but I don't go there, just as there are places you wouldn't go in Hong Kong.
Gangs and their criminal activity are a problem here, especially where there are large concentrations of Latinos. The Latino gangs are a bigger danger than Black or White gangs, because they have a bigger concern for Macho Pride. The Black and White gangs have pride but not the same kind and aren't nearly as violent.
But that said, most Americans don't have much contact with these gangs and might not even suspect these people are gang members unless they know the dress codes. So your statements about gangs of killers roaming the streets are a gross distortion of the truth.
I think you spent too much time in the media and not enough time in the streets. Was it unsafe the walk the streets where you lived in the US? Day? Night? Gangs or single criminals?
