However I think it might be partly human nature, a lot of things which were widespread and bad in the old days are better now and the admittedly rare murders and attacks have become worse. The most ghastly sexism and racismy is far less acceptable now - but it used to be widespread.

I'm not sure that bringing back hanging would help but I I think the games and TV that people now watch has had a massive impact on people.

Older people are in danger now that killings are rife in their own homes, by strangers and people they know. What a world we live in!

And it's everywhere, all over the world. <br /><br />"but look at what we have now: films showing murder - in detail - committed by modern folk, not the cowboy stuff of yesteryear."<br /><br />Exactly! Here in America, it's Hollywood that glorifies all the violence, which then perpetuates more and more because it makes it seem normal.

I think that people with no regard for life, people who will kill if they are disrespected have always existed, they are now more mobile and have have access to more lethal weapons.
