What kind of crime is there the most of in Scotland? Is it mainly children who go missing, get obducted or kidnapped?Around how many gangs aren't fullproof but don't get arrested NO matter how many times they'd do something.

The UK is getting more dangerous because every year it is 30 percent more. Now more people have to move country's and may die because murder or terrorists. Why do people think it is good to murder? Why do people think it is not illegal to kill?
I'd like to challenge you to be sceptical about your comment. When you say '30% more', are you referring to crime? If so, this isn't accurate information. Although there has been an increase in some crimes, overall the UK is safer than it has been in the past.

I think a lot of people do it to get money and precious belongine from other people. Or they might do it for fun. Maybe children see their parents doing a type of crime and when they're older they might copy.

I think carrying a nife is bad and if people see you then they'll think that your about to kill someone
people think that they're going to work are going somewhere to kill someone people sometimes they don't know what to say so they say that they are taking a knife home from work that people make really good excuses up some people believe them so they don't call the police so that's good, because it's not good but it's good then because they told me but it's really really good for anything

How do you know about the knife crime?
25 Jan 2019
some people hurt people for fun or to get revenge but murder or nife crime is probably for fun and if some one hurt a family member of the murders.some murderers might dress up as a chef and betend to go work but the merderer might be on there way to kill or stab some one.

I think it's good that the number of knife crimes has fallen from 2017
25 Jan 2019
most people are scared of people that do any crime because they don't want to be part of it so they don't get put in to prison and don't want to be known as someone bad . some people do it for fun and don't care that they can be hurting someone really badly and because more people are going to gangs so more people are doing crime

The police have different statistics because they make note of every crime but the DNS is only a survey.

Why would people carry knives in their back pocket
25 Jan 2019

25 Jan 2019
people kill people for fun or revenge some people bloodbath and the number of killing is increast by 39% from the past year so that is why cops can ceap us safe but in Brizil it is low on teck so more people kill people so they can ether tack there mony or house and valuble things like cars potery and it has ricen allot by 2011

People can also do murder because they need money or in Brazil they might not have a good president to rule the people so it will cose a murder in the city in future it will affect the other cities in the world .
25 Jan 2019
The police can shoot people if they have the right to.We should not murder because we can get punished or sent to prison so don't murder you won't like being punished or sent to prison. Why does Russia have no law for murder
that is bad?. You should be careful and do the right thing!

I think that people gang up and do crimes for fun also people do it for revenge in London and Scotland it is usual for
people to do it in London and Scotland especially in the streets the number that has increased is alot since 2011 till 2018 and people will not stop doing bad things so its very important that everyone knows how bad it is so they should put it on the internet and on the front of the news papers not on the back or on the middle because people just flick through news papers they don't read them because they think its to long
25 Jan 2019
Why do you think people know that is illegal so they might get arrested and put away for a long time. Can we help anything about it...
As kids we should help (like me) and stand up for ourselves. Do you think the medias right because I don't. They make the world less-safe than it is!!

Who's with me and do you believe me.

People will hurt others because of revenge,for fun and then they will try to murder or really hurt someone. People will try to kidnap or hole people in captivity.
People will try to mug people to get their money or belongings and then might stab them and hide the body so that the people will die from bleeding so when people go to concerts it is more likely to happen at around 1:00
Make sure you always have evidence to support the claims you make!

People normally hurt others for revenge or abuse or for the sake of just doing it.If you live in a big country like Brazil you might have a better chance of death.
People die of gangs but sometimes people just give them there money or belongings but sometimes people die or get mugged.Deaths and gangs arn't the only things that can happen on media people can threatan everyone or just one person.The outside world can be very scary and dangerous.
25 Jan 2019
People do crime as revenge or for fun because there not nice people. In England there is less people so there is less chance of people being killed but, in other places like Brazil there is way more people so there is way more gangs so there is higher chance of people being stabbed ,injured or murdead . People should be very careful around concerts streets and anywhere where there is lots of people.

Knife crime should stop because if you kill someone the situation gets bigger and that means less population and more knife killers so all killer must stop killing causethekiller might get killed themselves
