How is the crime situation in your country? (19)
Michaelangel: Crime situation in my country has been bad for a while now. Small country like T & T(pop of 1.4m est) averages 500+ murders for the year for about the last 15 odd years.
Many rapes, robberies, home invasions, car thefts and recently started back, kidnappings.
The kidnapping for ransom in T & T was very bad between the years 2003 to 2010, then went a bit dormant for a while, but now has come back with a bang.
They, the criminals are kidnapping many young women now, people say it is part of the human trafficking trade, some say it is for human parts.
It is really a sad state of affairs in my small country.
Lots of drugs and illegal guns in my country, Dec 2019 the government decided to legalise marijuana.
What happened over there? Many rapes, robberies, home invasions, car thefts and recently started back, kidnappings.

T&T was one the rich cats of the Caribbean. What happened to the oil and oil money?

Not groovy. And, as the homeless/ drifter problem grows, property crimes get worse and worse...(my duplex neighbor was setting up a full kitchen bar-b- que in his front yard, and had gone into the cottage to get steaks, etc...he was inside about 5 minutes. When he came out, the entire kitchen unit was GONE. I’ve had two lawn chairs, a cane, and get this— three freshly planted Easter Lilies in full bloom lifted out of the very garden. The police believed it, but couldn’t believe it...not much they can do, and they even said that if they were patrolling and saw guys lifting a bar-b- que into a truck they wouldn’t think twice because people move stuff around all the time...guess we’ll just have to be very vigilant.

If crime and it's causes are really scrutinised one will find it's actually more to do with how fair and equitable society is and government policies and how they look after the most vulnerable in society. If it was human nature to just rob and commit crime then why is crime so prevelant in one country but not another one? A strong social welfare system, good public health systems and other such frameworks that support the most vulnerable and help keep their ship afloat are what reduce crime and the potential for it....Remove those systems and crime goes through the roof...
I know if I were broke, hungry and had no home I'd turn into the most ruthless criminal going....and you can be sure I'd take advantage of everything and use whatever I had to hand as well...
Those homeless people aren't the cause of the crime. They're as much victims of a poorly managed system as the people who were burgled...so it becomes a vicious circle and now it's gone so far people can't see the wood for the trees and the politicians can side step responsibility by blaming everythign and anything except themselves...
Also, social cohesion, a sense of "belonging" and being respected by others are also just important..
PS Huge populations and the decline of the "village" also plays a role. Also, there will always be a tiny element of dubious/criminal activity in every society, but if a society is well run, fair and equitable then it won't get out of hand and be just petty stuff...but when you see police shooting black people on the streets with impunity you know there's something gone very very wrong...

the crime in my country seems to get worse by the hour. Gökman T. who hijacked a tram and killed 4 persons is in jail for life. Now in jail he managed to make some sort of knife and stabbed a guard, luckily the guard isn't very bad hurt. Deadpenalty should be great here.

I have always tried earnestly to put myself in others’ shoes. And, I’ve worked closely with extremely poor/disenfranchised people. Stopping and waiting for the coast to be clear, and then hoisting a large bar-b- q unit onto a truck (that someone else had to work hard for) is a planned, deliberate, aggressive crime. It isn’t the same as needing food or shelter, which, by the way, is available (here) if one is willing to abide by reasonable rules. Taking from others simply because they have it and you don’t is untenable, regardless of “need”. If we were to be accepting of this, the chaos would be unthinkable. I’m sorry, but I don’t agree that it would be “ petty”, and it is, indeed, way out of hand. Some of my neighbors are afraid to go to work, for crying out loud, for fear of coming home to ransacked homes, and it DOES happen, all too frequently.A strong social welfare system, good public health systems and other such frameworks that support the most vulnerable and help keep their ship afloat are what reduce crime and the potential for it....Remove those systems and crime goes through the roof...

We just have some evil people in the world. I mean they are truly evil.
A few weeks ago a man tied up a man and dragged him on his motorcycle here in our town, which is a teeny tiny town. The man being dragged separated from the motorcycle, but the police who were trying to stop the motorcycle said he was dead, still not sure if he died while being dragged or if he was dead before. The motorcycle crashed and the idiot was taken to jail. He had stabbed two bouncers a few years back and was sent to prison. Apparently, he didn't learn his lesson.

Nature and nurture go into crime but yes mass society one. What happens when mass society stops being grateful for not having toothache? Crime becomes more about excitement or a way of making a name for yourself beneath the skyscraper within the global order. It's a better to reign in hell sort of thing.A strong social welfare system, good public health systems and other such frameworks that support the most vulnerable and help keep their ship afloat are what reduce crime and the potential for it....Remove those systems and crime goes through the roof...

Particularly for men and young men at that. It is not security that they necessarily want but to make this life a wonderful adventure. To go through scrapes where you can honestly claim to be lucky to alive. Then and only then will it behave like a civilised man, it is the way to value home and security.

The pandemic fans the flame for that reason because aging society dooms the future of youth to grant old age a security. For men and younger this is deeply problematic. You'd have to be a woman, a pensioner, or micropenis Chinese to feel anything other than shame over how we live today

We do run an opportunistic society...even though there are “gouging” laws, it remains rampant. You may recall in recent years past when The Olympics were in a certain area, property management companies gave every renter legal notice to vacate so they could rent the units out for super- inflated short- term leases. Of course they filled every apartment. Groups of ousted renters tried to sue, but could not. Many people pointed out that the buildings would then be empty after The Olympics ended, but owners and property managers said “ no, we’ll quickly fill them up again”. I’m sure The Pandemic will open up some kinds of opportunistic vending. (For awhile, I think toilet tissue and paper products went up in price...) weird side-comment: a recent study showed that this is not a “first”—- other crisis’, high unemployment, inflation, natural disasters, seem to cause a hysteria of hoarding toilet paper. Guess it’s pretty important, huh?

I would guess that covid swerving is roughly 100000 a week turning to crime. The covid party is the attempt to get through this unpopular and unnecessary war more quickly. Simple minds that think this is about a virus and not politics. It is here to instill a more authoritarian and stable form of government and economy over the world.

It's actually the growing, errant and very divided populous that's creating the need for a more authoritarian and harsh government. 
And, if enough people carried on with the way you seem to; then all you're doing is breaking up the boat that's keeping you afloat. And you will get the authoratarian government you keep going on about...

And the society will come to punish brutally not just the conscientious objectors but those who have suffered from isolation. Drive the world mad and begin to punish selectively.

There was a bit of crime going on outside my house last night. Four guys smashed a car up with hammers and baseball bats, then attacked the occupants. It seems a couple of them were stabbed but fortunately none of them received life threatening injuries, I suspect the car was a write off though.
Last week I witnessed a shooting outside my son's house, so all in all its been an eventfull week on the crime scene for me here in Manchester.

Perhaps I’m naive, but I guess I thought England was not so crime- ridden and violent...disappointing, and I’m sorry your neighborhood is going through these problems.Last week I witnessed a shooting outside my son's house, so all in all its been an eventfull week on the crime scene for me here in Manchester.

In any big city crime is a constant issue and Manchester is no exception. In fact there was a period not so long ago when Manchester became known as Gunchester.I must admit though, it's the first time I've found myself giving police witness statements twice in one week.
