How's it with criminality in your country?

Since late '80's in the Netherlands it's goin from worse to bad.
Lately much stabbings (often by children of 14-16 years old), shootings, handgrenates before pubs, it's a freaking warzone.
And then all the sometimes deadly accidents where the guilty one don't stop or look after his victim, just drives on.

I wanna know, is it the same anywhere or is there still a safe country to go to?

It is getting very bad here in the US as well, the whole world seems to be bad, I have looked back in history, and even then it was very bad, many times we just do not pay so much attention to it until it hits close to home...It is Everywhere... but it also has been for thousands of years...mumbling help sad flower handshake

Criminals will always be there, but it's getting worse by the years. The USA had some very well known criminals, like Bonnie and Clyde, Jesse James, Billy the Kid etc.
And all the shootings at schools is still no reason for politicians to forbid arms.
I bet the lobby is paying a lot to politicians, so they can go on producing and making money.

Funny you said Jessie James, he only lived about 20 minutes from where I live now...they moved his house to St. Joseph, Missouri, again about 20 minutes the opposite direction, I have been through his house...I go close by it regularly....

In the bad areas of New York city in the 1800s you could get killed in broad daylight on the street for your cheap suit of clothes.
By 1860 great opportunity arose if you joined the Army blue or grey. Gangrene and amputation without anesthetic were one of many fine mistresses that could be won
Of course when people got in trouble in the east they could go west and disappear.
"Hang um first, try um later" originated in the West from mouth of the right honorable Judge Roy Bean.rolling on the floor laughing

The baby boomers were an unbelievable crimewave, but the crime rate has been dropping ever since the youngest baby boomer turned 30(1994).

The simple explanation for this is to say that baby boomers are the least moral generation to exist in human history but it's not quite as simple as that. The graphics on Grand Theft Auto are to some extent the reason why youth are not out there breaking into cars like their parents were. There's an uneasy peace maintained by games and distraction after the hellish crime spree and breakdown of social discipline that was 1964 to 1994.

What we have is an ageing population with a very high rate of criminality in its youth and what I think this does is assume that kids are more criminal than they are - because they were a criminal kid - and makes everything seem more threatening because it is elderly. The ageing population is easily threatened because it is old and likely to see the worst in people because it is bad.

The truth is that you and yours have less chance of getting murdered and you've probably not been robbed for years(even though you've got stuff worth stealing). But the internet makes it easier to live against your own personal experience. Kids go missing less today than at any other moment in history. You are objectively safer but are subjectively experiencing more angst and grief - the definition of a first world problem.

An Englishman was shot by a gang of thieves who spotted him at the airport wearing a expensive watch. He died and his son was shot also and sent to Hospital.

Ireland has a relatively low crime rate, especially outside of its capital city. Fear of crime is a totally different thing and impacts on people's quality of life more so than crime itself.
