Mapping the Location and Victim Profile of Teenage Murders in London from 2005 to 2012

this proofs our society is a mess kid killing kids

would this happen 60/70 years ago?

http://www.citizensreportuk.org/reports/murders-fatal-violence-uk.html

anybody said we dont have a problem clearly aren't looking right this wouldn't back in the day.

I think it happened then also it's just that it didn't make the news as much.

I'm thinking as a percentage of population rather than absolute numbers

it's a disgrace we have allow this to happen i blame labour & it's time to get tough on this kid who think they are gangstars

i got a cousin who live in london where he did live he coul og go right becasue if he went left there was a chance of getting rob....

i wonder if american style boot camps would work? obviously not the fighting side but the discipline and taking pride in appearance, teach them money doesn't grow on tree's and they have to work to get what they want and can't go running to mummy

I agree with you, kids these days are bored, hate competition, have low self worth and allow themselves to slide into * lives too easily. being part of a gang just massages their bruised egos

i think it's lads/girls around 14 to19 is where the goverment should be starting and stop them turning to gangs,

5 years boot camp or national service...

anybody watch that Scenes from a Teenage Killing where this kid got stab to death the the rival gang went to the chruch and started trouble that really bad and low

military schools for problem kids, similar to boot camp but let kids 13 up to 18, i seem to remember watching a programme where parents who were having big problems with problem kids could sign over they're child to the military rather than sending them to a juvenile correctional facility, i know my nephew needs something like that

modern society is plagued with short termism in the corporate world as well as local and central governments, consequently there are no imediate plans for untrained youths. we all suffer from it and it will have to change as uk has now a let down a whole generation

that good one a 3 strike rules for kids 13 to 18 year old? if any kid get trouble 3 times they get sent to a militry school till they 18 plus?

something will have to change becasue sooner then later there going be a melt down like what the police said on coppers if you saw it?

it would coincide with the 3 strikes your out policy the police recon they have in force

i think the uk will have to get out of the human right act first i think....

that's true, even those that violate other people's human rights seem to have more than the victim they left behind

that the main problem today... the people who does the crime as more right then the victim...

kid who does crime should lose all right what so ever

i totally agree, if proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt, then they should fore go any rights as a free citizen

london is as safe as anywhere, there are just more people here

some place in london is like american style of ghetto... streets fighting street.. post code wars i think it was NH1 vs NG9 or something like that anyway

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-15126415

it was on that scenes from a teenage, my consuin live in a bad area for while and he didn't feel safe going the 1 way becasue of the gangs alot of people got rob... he works for NHS he see alot of this.

there are ghetto parts in london, just like anywhere else in the UK, there is a thing though if kids are in a gang then they fight via postcodes.

I feel safer here in London than I would Burnley

there alot of kids killing kids in london... 360 or something in 5 years that really bad..

murders in a year in london & burnley

london


burnley

that bad

the population of London is a whopping 7,172,000. This is almost 15% of the entire population of Britain! Another interesting fact, there are more citizens under age 16 than there are adults!

so you would expect more crime more murders beacuse of the ratio

wonder where the stat for what was kids killing kids back in the day when we had national service?

there was probally hardley any killing then, kids were kids back in those days not mini grown ups with designer gear and money in their pocket to but whatever like now

kids was brought up good them days hell alot of parents dont care and that is the main reason ther have problem and it's only going to get worse not better becasue no one is trying to fix the problem, this is a good time to bring back national service or an 2012 vision of national service with all the cut backs more kids will want to join gangs becasue there no jobs....
