Do you feel safe?

Do people feel safe in London/England? Below are two poeple's point of view, sharing their expierences with crime.

"'You think London is dangerous? Give me a break! I used to walk home across London on my own every night. No problems at all. In my first 3 months of living in Paris I was assaulted 3 times: once attempted mugging, once being touched up on the Métro and once an attempted sexual assault in a Métro station - and all of this was in the daytime! Nobody here came to help when I shouted. There is also no CCTV on French underground stations. Fortunately I know that people are a bit friendlier in London and there are CCTV cams everywhere; thus I feel a lot safer there. And before anyone even thinks I was wearing short skirts and low cut tops, that ain't my style!'

'You bet I feel less safe. In the last year, I have had my bike stolen from a private garden, 4 of my 5 housemates have had their cars broken into, friends have been chased down dark streets at 2am, and the streets around me are littered with broken glass from all the smashed car windows. Do I live in a 'dodgy' area? No, I live in the smartest, leafiest and formerly 'safest' part of town. I will be getting out of the city as soon as possible.'
Alastair Stevens, Bristol UK"
