"Almost every day, it seems we read or hear reports another family is grieving
the murder of a loved one in a street brawl, another business owner is
hospitalised after trying to fend off armed robbers, or shoppers simply going
about their business are confronted by knife-wielding thugs.

The way media and politicians talk, it seems as if we are in the middle of an
unprecedented violent crime crisis.

But are we?

The short answer is: no."
