| Keep in mind that while Shanghai may be experiencing an increase in crime rate due to all the reasons listed above, one thing that you need to keep in mind that the media is much more free (though far from having freedom of the press) to report on these occurances now and thus it may add to the perception of increased violence. You don't think husbands have abusing their wives in decades past? But yet its on the rise according to the media reports. Roberries, thefts? Yes, with the increasing gap between the "haves" and the "have nots", more crime will probably occur, but again, don''t forget the source of the news is much mroe efficient now in bringing information to the public Cheers. http://www.shanghaiexpat.com/community/index.php?blog=5 |
