RiffRaff Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Police cuts, lack of parental guidance, austerity, immigration...who knows the cause/solution. All I keep coming up with is the thought that anybody who's wandering around armed with a blade must be sadly lacking in the brain cell department...

It's never one thing, it's a combination of all the things you've listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_W Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It's never one thing, it's a combination of all the things you've listed. We could apply combinations of circumstances as reasoning for lots of criminal activity and human behaviour, however there is generally no excuse for using a knife on someone, those who choose to use knives, or guns (armed conflict and self defence cases excepted) have little or no regard or respect for human life and are vile scum regardless of those circumstances.

That's a very refreshing and Sociological approach Michael! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltman777 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi guys, I've posted before and I'm merely here on this forum at the moment because Sheffield had always been my top destination to come and live. Note the use of 'had' - worries have started to creep in. Every time I search Sheffield news (I've had an invested interest since deciding), I hear about a new stabbing. There really is an eeriness to all the bad news I've read lately. That really is about the last 3 times I've looked someone's been stabbed or attempted to be killed. Can someone fill me in - is it really as dangerous as my tiny brain would have me believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Can someone fill me in - is it really as dangerous as my tiny brain would have me believe? No. Or should I say, no more or no less than any other city in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Sheffield is a large city with everything that entails, including art, culture, theatre, museums, sport, etc, including, unfortunately violence and criminality. Overall it’s actualy quite safe for a big city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 No. Or should I say, no more or no less than any other city in Europe. Well, that might not be entirely accurate. I caught a snippet of an interview with a Dr from the SNP conference who stated that not one person had died from a stabbing in 2017 anywhere in Scotland.

dutch Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) An interesting article in the Star: Picture reveals astonishing haul of weapons seized from people entering Sheffield Crown Court https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/crime/picture-reveals-astonishing-haul-of-weapons-seized-from-people-entering-sheffield-crown-court-1-9390810 What kind of moron takes a weapon into court? Looking at the picture I say at least half of those items are not weapons but tools or camping gear. They are probably builders, plumbers, electrician and some people with some multi function knife they got for their birthday but not to stab people.
