At night I mean.

Oh, here we go again. The Riddler speaks in foreign tongues.
Tell that to all the families of those murdered on our streets through Islamic violence, the little girls knifed to death in particular. You really are a piece of filth.
What do you mean by " some level " are you saying it has always been like this? You really are a moraless cretin.
I’m sorry you’ve never heard of ‘Kool Aid’ or the saying “Turkeys voting for Christmas”.
So rather than waiting for an explanation, you leap to calling someone a cretin. Well done.

You can ignore the statistic just because you don't agree. There's loads of reports not done by police or Govt all saying the same thing if you can be bothered to look.

Ad hominem attacks are the first and last refuge of a limited intellect that is unwilling or unable to engage with the ideas rather than the person.
But it does mean that crime is worse than ever and certainly not better
Common sense trumps statistics every time
I’m not an expert enough on the stats - I was broadly making the point that people are mentioning things like night-time crime as if they never existed at all before.

In some respects yes I've lived near Knighton Park for 30 years it was always a safe area that's no longer the case. It's a total.no go.area at night time now .

Off you want to be like Everton and believe everything you read on social media you'll be terrified of anyone and anything slightly different to you and will be scared of everything. Your perception is different to the reality.
The facts don't back up your argument though.
It's a well known fact that, as people get older, their perception of crime changes. They get less worried about some types of crime, such as burglary, and more worried about being mugged or attacked.
It's common sense that, as we get older and less able to defend ourselves, our fears change.
Certainly seems that way with people like you.

Total rubbish 10\15 youths out around the pavilion area every night drinking taking drugs carrying knives attacking anyone who cares to glance in there direction .Several people have been attacked in the last few weeks.And for the record im 51 not 81 and 6ft4 not some frail old man.
Not really comparable given mobile phone usage was almost non-existent 30 years ago.
I haven't got a dog, unfortunately, but I wouldn't be any more worried about walking it in safety than any of the dozens of people I see doing the same every day round my way, including the guy with the massive illuminated St George Cross outside his house opposite me. I travel by train several times a week (I am on one now in fact, my third of 6 journeys this week, including a return trip to London). For myself I have never worried about posting on social media but I take your point that enforcement (and the collective hue-and-cry) can sometimes be a bit OTT - I hope that is starting to balance out a bit now; ideally it would run alongside people at least trying to control themselves and be a bit more considered, measured and polite (but that's up to them, of course). I don't know who Jane Moore is so can't comment, but I wonder if the verb should be "claim" or "say" rather than "admit"? Incidentally I don't see posters on this particular social media outlet being terribly inhibited in what they say.
But so can anecdotes and feelings, can't they? Don't we have to consider all factors?
Blimey, that's rather unnecessary language. You know I said "mostly" don't you? Of course that doesn't make it OK that awful things happen and I feel as furious as anyone else (and probably as vengeful) when they do, and it's wrong to imply that I somehow dismiss or discount them.
Well in my life time we've gone from "being able to leave your back door open" to deadlocks on doors, window locks, alarm systems, CCTV and door bell cameras.
Blame mass hysteria if you like but crime (not necessarily serious) is much more prevalent in my experience

"We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self-control"
"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets, inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"
'The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint ... As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behaviour and dress."
Quotes from an inscription on an Egyptian tomb, 4th and 13th centuries. Older people have always moaned about the youth. It's more about perception than reality.

I apologise if the repeated posting of facts upsets you
