Answer 1

Egad!  Our media are so eager to trumpet everything bad that happens on this side of the pond, it's refreshing to learn we're not the only sods laden with crooks, thieves, gang-bangers and all-around scoundrels.  Even our domestic version of the Holy City on the Hill - well, yes, in this case it's a valley - Salt Lake City is plagued with gang violence and is not far behind the so-called Murder Capitol of the Nation.  Tell y'what: if you're a betting man, I'll put Salt Lake City up against your Greater Glasgow for a year and see which one has the greatest number of arrests for assault during that period.  Ten pounds says it'll be Salt Lake City...

i have seen this up close and personal,I used to live in Glasgow, and this is just a way of life on a lot of the council housing schemes, each one will defend their area against intruders, I have witnessed many a pitch battle between two or even 3 different gangs, proper going for each other, It's just the way it is up there unfortunately.

Answer 12

London is becoming pretty bad.

Answer 16

Generally the more North you go, the worse it is.

Answer 17

the crime capital turns out rather surprisingly to be Nottingham, but for violent crime, the only city that might challenge Glasgow (on a Saturday night at any rate) might be Newcastle.  They like their drink there!

London has the highest crime figures.

Answer 19
