Australia and the UK could do well to learn from the US in tackling crime. It's appalling in the UK, and not good in Aus either (allthough it seems to be more avoidable here, having lived in both countries). The idea that rising crime rates are unavoidable is bollocks (see New York as a case study).

a quote from a web article:
A British man I met in Colorado recently told me he used to live in Kent but he moved to the American state of New Jersey and will not go home because it is, as he put it, "a gentler environment for bringing the kids up."
