But oz has more murders per head of population than England, you cannot just pick London as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about one borough i know and that it has the highest gang rapes in london amongst other things which i know for a fact as I worked there for a long time and covered these areas of information and crimes and i didnt compare it to anywhere just pointed out it is not a major city in response to you highlighting me and your comments..

Guest Guest76386 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Everyone should step back and look at what your all talking about. Australia and England are two of the safest countries in the world to live in. Australia is the biggest recreational drug consuming nation in the world. Really the crime rates should be huge. But thankfully its not. SOunds like people are making both countries to sound like south central LA in the 90s. Be lucky you all live in a great place. Look at the world around us. Id personally be greatful. My advice to people that worry is stop reading papers, you would never actually know it happins then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% the pathetic media would have us all sheltering under our beds, the actual chance of being a victim of crime is very low in both countries, 2 of the safest countries on the planet.

Buttercup Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 How did you find out about it? The long arm of the law! Unless he was a compulsive liar (which I had no reason to believe he was not) I believe it should have been true? Also heard it from a work colleague who lived in the area and saw all the police there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 But oz has more murders per head of population than England, Pay attention PB. As has been pointed out in this thread already, the stats are almost identical - varying slightly around the 1 per 100,000 for both countries.

Skani Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I've been thinking the same recently. Wake up at 6am listening to Sydney 702. Every day there is a new shooting, stabbing, drive by etc. Usually out West of course. Its a worry, but as some have said, its still unusual enough to make the headlines...at least, that is how I try and rationalise it. I think you are right. When you look at the "murder map" of London and consider the number of violent incidents which must have occurred but haven't resulted in death - how many of those would make the headlines in the UK? And the fact is that you are very unlikely to be a victim of a random act of violence: most are either domestic violence, gangs or other personal grievances (often fuelled by unreasonable levels of alcohol).

Skani Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Australia is the biggest recreational drug consuming nation in the world. ...which has been surveyed. Interesting that that report doesn't include the most popular recreational drug in the world - alchohol. WT...?? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
