| Was talking with a group of friends recently about crime particularly that in which teenagers are the victims. One of them whose children are now grown up and married having been to school in the area said she thought that people were getting a bit hysterical about the scale of the problem and being worked up into a frenzy by social media. Her view was that the problem was far worse over a decade ago. She said that was because mobile phones could be sold for more in real terms at that point and they didn't have the security features which can make them effectively worthless if stolen. She knew our family had a bad experience in this regard recently so wasn't being dismissive of how awful it can be for a child to go through this. Her point was that it is not a new thing and it is probably happening less than before we are just hearing about more cases. I'm all for appropriate warnings being issued and good advice on safety being generally available but I don't really see us or our children as being under siege from criminals. Is there actually any statistical evidence that thing are worse than they ever have been. |
