We need a proper statistical analysis instead of all this anecdotal evidence.
Please post the name of your 'hood and the number of times you have been mugged, burgled, menaced by a hoodie or offered drugs in the last 10 years.

You forgot to post your location mr. winkle, that's the whole point of the survey. |

It might be more productive if you asked the regulars how many times they had gone mugging, burgling, menacing or offering drugs in the past 10 years.

Ceredigion.
Probably the lowest crime-rate in the UK. Nil, nought, never, zilch and none - and no immigrants other than Hong-Kong and Bangladeshi businessmen and Polish carers. |

Hood - Warwickshire
Mugged: 0 Burgled: 0 Menaced by a hoodie: 0 Offered drugs: Outside pub, pre The Specials gig @ Brixton Academy. The police station is around the corner. Approached by prostitutes = London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Glasgow, Coventry, overseas, and once during a darts away match, against a village team  Approached by homosexuals: Twice. First time during a darts away match in town (there's a theme developing). Second time whilst waiting for the bus in Piccadilly after a Rod Stewart concert @ Royal Albert Hall - shudder. There's a 20 year gap between the two. |

I menaced and humiliated one once though I felt I'd done enough when the ice-cream flopped from his cone onto the pavement. Offered drugs: by various doctors ... a bit like Woolworths in past times, I pick and choose See an ethnic: everyday |
