Default Shop Raid

On last night's Midlands Today, I saw some footage of a woman being dragged across the of the shop she was working in by some thieves holding the place up.
Is it just me, or is violent crime getting more violent?

Hmmm... I missed this....

Yes Lex, it would appear so, though I daresay we would be told otherwise and quoted lots of crime solving/investigation figures etc.

I would venture as far as suggesting that in part, too much leniency is involved and so they are getting more aggressive. This isn't the whole answer but I feel it a contributing factor. Also, how many instances do you know of, whereby, like magic, something is airbrushed away - (Note: this is how the victim perceives it.) - and the alleged offender leaves the victim with damage repairs on property and mentally??
