Frighting it is just about the same here, my estimate is we are about 50% of the cops needed just to break even with crime, Denmark would have to turn into a police state if the want to stop crime.
Pretty sad, but thats how it is nowadays.
The laws here / sentences for doing crime here are too low, have absolutely no deterring effect, or it have a little for Danes, the people that come here from around the world not so much.
5 - 10 years or so ago, we got a knife law as people was stabbing each other, but that just result if you are taken with a knife you get 2 months extra and the stabbings, well only gone up in the past 5 years.
And i who do not stab people can not legally carry a pocket knife.
And it was quite simple, change the penal code on the metter to, 1 scratch with a knife 2 years in prison ( at least ) - 1 cut that require stitches = 6 years in prison ( at least ) murder with knife = death penalty.
THAT ! everyone can understand and it WILL be better for society and stand up people.
And then people that know how to use a knife can carry a knife, and not be criminals.
