Have you tried to report a crime lately?
Try and find a police station for a start to report a crime, and most people nowadays don't even bother.
Even when the drunken scum have caused bother, and after getting out of a and e, either the police don't record it, or the courts hand out stupid light sentences.
Try living very near either a pub or club Ripple and I reckon you would change your mind on that.
Gosh! Am I glad I got that off my chest or what?
Bobbing up and down on my IPad or not!
I'm not saying crime is acepetable ! But I'm glad you got that off your chest .

Several years of difficult economic years will certainly have played a part, also people are getting zipped on the cheap in their own homes on cheap supermarket swill, and that's the reason why they're not getting arrested as much in the streets anymore, but many still end up in A & E.

I've never noticed, it's made no difference to me ... The local pubs stay open for an extra hour on the weekend.
All the moral out pourings 10 years ago of drink related crimes would go through the roof proved to be untrue !
I expect it depends where you live.There are two pubs not far away, both do food and close about 11pm, they are not 'drinking houses'.
For many pubs out in the countryside it isn't worth their while to stay open with staff/heat/lighting costs for just a couple of people in the bar.

Re: 10th Anniversary of 24 hour drinking
It has made a difference in that pubs have closed but supermarkets sell alcohol now all day and all night, so we now have more very young drinkers (underage) and drinking at home, so I believe there is more violence at home from the local statistics I have seen. At least when there were limited hours supermarkets could sell the wife/husband beating was more contained to evenings now it's common all day.24-11-2015, 02:41 PM

Re: 10th Anniversary of 24 hour drinking
I remember a few years ago when the Irish pubs went none smoking, there were various reports stating that domestic violence increased rapidly as people began drinking more at home. Pubs here are sometimes still open at 1 or 2 a.m. during the summer months but there are rarely very few people in them at that time. No music after midnight unless a special licence is obtained, thank goodness, sometimes it used to be horrendous, the noise from bars which are a good 15 minute walk away. Even here the majority of local people buy their drink at a supermarket, a litre bottle of beer retails at anything from 59 cents to 1.39 cents.|
