| Janice I am really sorry that you feel unsafe enough to make these changes to your lifestyle. Can I ask what is causing you to feel this way? As a woman I feel quite safe going about the city alone by day and by night, as do my daughters and most other women I know. Statistics show the streets are safer than they were and this is born out by my own anecdotal experience. In the eighties, when I was a teenager, London was rough - not a weekend went by without someone we knew (usually male) being the victim of violent street crime. In the last few years I do know teenagers who have been robbed or attacked but no older friends at all. I am not discounting your fears but I do think you might find this article interesting. https://policinginsight.com/feature/analysis/most-crime-has-fallen-by-90-in-30-years-so-why-does-the-public-think-its-increased/ |
