Increase in violent crime

I think there is a distinct difference now in the UK compared to say a generation ago - there's always been violence and in the past we would often here of unwarranted attacks, beatings and street fights, but not the seemingly wider-spread fatality that we are witnessing today - killings tended to be more the province of the organised gangland like the Krays, and the 'justifiable' payback of that culture. This feels, and certainly appears, different. There's a downward spiral feel to it - one negative leading to a another and another and with no effective remedy currently available.

I used to worry about the increase in violent crimes but then I realized it was easier to just shoot the messengers who tell us about it.
