I think that it has more to do with low self esteem and the lack of serious consequences for such behavior. The style in which it manifests itself is only superficial.Originally posted by kidzero
but it was this "boyz in the hood, menace to society, colours"influence i think that made kids act like that these days.
In the US? Probably so. But they will also try to ensure that whoever they choose as a victim isn't armed themselves, and if I'm not mistaken the rates of A & B are higher in the UK than in the US.Originally posted by JoseDominguez
And before anyone posts to argue with that, I think most gangs out looking for people to beat up would be armed, don't you?
If you research a little I think you will find that the UK rates for assaults, street robberies, and home invasions are higher than in the US. While the few High School shootings in the US have been well documented, disgruntled sociology students going on a shooting spree are extremely rare at the college level.Originally posted by Skarra
Your right, crime is getting out of control, but at least its not as bad as it is in the US. At least in my classes at college, i can be sure nobody has a pistol under their sociology book.
