Sick that he hunted down the parents of someone he fell out with. These people did nothing wrong.


90s was much worse than it is today, my city Manchester was really bad in the 90s, now its all yuppy, nice restaurants, shops etc. Also you had the firm operating in the 90s, Pat Tate, Tony Tucker. The Adams family too was more active in the 80s and 90s than now. Generally crime is down in the UK, Murders in London have dropped under 150 in recent years, it maxed out in about 03 at over 200.


Yeah crime has sunk dramatically. In the 90s you saw the rise of the drug phenomenon. Rivals were picking each other off left and right. Murder rates are low. However that's not to say there isn't crime anymore. There probably still are shady deals going on, but it isn't as all over the place as it was in the 90s. Things are steady now, but one day it will inevitably get worse again and then it will get better again. Probably the nature of crime. The European economic crisis won't really help in that regard.
In Europe in general crime rates are lower nowadays. Italy for instance experienced a peak in mafia violence in the early 80s. Nowadays the murder rate in Italy is even lower than the murder rate in the UK.
