Hello mylotters. Here were I live, there's a lot of violence everyday. Crime is more and more, and delinquency cup raises everyday. It's really bad for all us who live here. It isn't secure to walk on the streets without any protection. Contract killings increases daily! What about the city where you live? Is there much violence? What about crime? Thanks for responding.

hi, yes there's a violence here but not everyday, there are only seasons they appear, like Christmas or pay day.

In my place there is crime. Recently it has been a little more than the usual. But these crimes are not necessarily violent. Violence in my locality is not that rampant. We are still a tightly knit community and violence is rarely availed of.

Where I live you can go for a walk day or night. Man or woman. Yes, we do have some crime, but not at all like larger cities.

Hi, I am from New York City the Bronx to be exact. I guess when a couple of million people are thrown together violence will certainly result. The authorities say that violence is lower now than it was ten years ago but knowing that does not appease the aprehensions of victims of violence. I live in a commercial district of the bronx and police presence is always high and while violent crimes are rare here, other larceny related crimes are quite high.

Sadly, there is violence and crime everywhere now. Maybe the effects of poor economy and over population. Look up scientific results of "skinner box" experiment. People seem to have no respect for other's property or even for human life. Could also be from the desensitizing of younger individuals due to war. Wish things could go back to a kinder, gentler time like in the 1950's. Not perfect but at least better than now.

Here, crime is also present. There different cases of robbery, killings, snatchings, etc.. I envy those countries that has a very low crime rate but I guess it has something to do with the country's government. If the country is being led nicely, crime rate won't skyrocket but if it's the other way around, crime rate will increase constantly.

Here in the IL it is extremely high with crime and violence. However I live in an area where as it is not likely, but can happen as no neighborhood here is an exception, especially where some come in from the bad areas to strike the nice areas, as this way they are not easily identified.

There is no absolute peace, there is no absolute violence.
