Its because there's no plods on the beat any more.

Simple.

No, it is because people (esp. youngsters) aren't brought up with a sense of right and wrong.

And this is based on which study? What was the sample amount used to deduce that all people had no sense of right and wrong (especially youngsters)?

My youngsters have a sense of right and wrong - I have yet to meet any that don't. I've never met anyone that said "i'm going to stab him/her" when they were annoyed with someone.

I'd like to suggest that all children or a massive majority at least are given a sense of right and wrong by their parents in a majority of cases. The problem is their "re-education" at the hands of a politicised education system and media and movie industry that sexualises and glorifies violence along with certain genres of music that dwell on how "bitches" love a man that "shoots m*therf*ckers".

If you expose growing minds to a constant barrage of sex and violence on the TV, movies, videos, music then what do you expect to get? If you constantly portray the "wronged man" as a hero for picking up a weapon and "dealing" with his wrongdoers in a violent, often fatal way then what affect do you think this has on impressionable minds.

Bet you not one of the recent murders by knife were perpetrated by someone who didn't think they'd been somehow "wronged" by the individual.

Still, i expect New Labia will set up a committee of their pals, develop countrywide focus groups, vote themselves another payrise and issue a report that will blame parents - then raise some more taxes to pay for it. Yawn.

Up to the penultimate paragraph I actually agreed with most of what you were saying.

Given that any action taken by any government, of whatever political hue, without prior consultation will always be labelled by you as "Stalinist" or "dictatorial", what is so wrong with canvassing for ideas on how to tackle the problem? If your thesis is sound, and I've a lot of sympathy with its general sentiments, then a ban, or some form of censorship of media (film, TV, magazines, arcade and PC games, newspapers) will be necessary. Does that suit your generally libertarian views? Should this be debated? Should people's opinions be sought? How about more changes to the "politicised education system" - should these be imposed by central dictat or should there be some form of debate and consultation in order to arrive at a consensus?
