Oz, did you notice the BEKs skin at all? did it look pale and veiny or was it too dark to see? Did you notice anything wrong or normal with the shape of the nose and eyes themselves?

After nearly a decade in which violent-crime rates fell or were stable throughout the USA, the FBI reported last month that there was a 2.5% rise last year in violent crimes, which include homicides, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults. Here and in cities across the nation — including Washington, Milwaukee and Boston — police are linking the increase to a growing problem: Crime by kids as young as 10, many of whom have been recruited by gangs.
from here.
Government data showed that one in eight violent crimes, more than a quarter of a million, were committed by school-age offenders in the year to April. Muggings committed by under-16s, including robberies and snatch thefts, doubled in one year to 55,000. Children also committed more than 70,000 offences of stranger violence, a 17 per cent increase on the previous year, according to the British Crime Survey.

Of the 2,840 crimes where the suspect was under 10, about half were cases of arson or criminal damage. There were also 66 sexual offences, including a number of sexual assaults on children under 13. The figures also revealed children too young to be charged were suspected of harassment, wounding and burglary. They come just three days after a boy was convicting of killing a man when he was just ten years old. The child, now 12, was part of a gang five who stoned a father-of-two to death as he played cricket with his son.

Analyses of police crime statistics from four states, to be presented at a conference in Brisbane tomorrow, show violent crime by young people is on the rise, with marked increases in offences committed by girls and by children of both sexes under 14. The proportion of violent crime committed by youth is also on the rise. "We are seeing consistent trends indicating young people are becoming more violent," said Paul Mazerolle, director of Griffith University's Centre for Ethics, Law, Justice and Governance, who compiled the figures.
