TheCrazyPuppy: We've had a gang culture for years.. Remember the Crays. Nothing new about that. And the amount of stabbings seems to be dropping.

And no.. Inner city people do not live in fear, in some places it may be bad, but to say that it's all bad is an over exaggeration. And in some respects, it's starting to rekindle the community spirit that we lost under Thatcher. eg.. where we live they use to before we moved here quite a problem with yobs.... But the community got together with the police and courts and sorted them out.

Now... it's very peaceful here.

And of certain areas, the problem rises from old style housing, as in too many people in a small area. Most councils are now getting tearing down such housing estates and going back to more relaxed housing systems that encourage a more peaceful life for the residents.

Things are changing for the better. But Rome was not built over night!!
