Sharp objects are taking over - the only crimes that are going down, according to the governments own stats, are domestic incidents. Strangers killing Strangers has remained virtually unchanged in 12 years.

And concerning Gun Crimes:

"Firearms (including air weapons) were reported to have been used in 22,789 recorded crimes in 2004/05. This is 5% down on the previous year, and the first fall since 1997. "

Since 1997! And it was only 5%, so, basically, unchanged since 1997, since It was clearly going up the last 10 years.

And one more quote from the site:

The overall fall masks a big increase in imitation weapon offences, up 55%

So yeah - if that doesnt say that people will find a way to hurt each other, I don't know what will.
