00:00I worry for young people because I think they do face hazards that we as adults don't necessarily
00:06know enough about and the prevalence of carrying knives worries the hell out of me. I'm an
00:12ex-teacher and I've seen that increase during my time and increase even more so since I've
00:19retired.
00:20It's like all areas of public services, you feel they've been cut back and cut back really
00:24hard so I don't have the confidence say that if my house is burgled that the police will
00:30come and even really investigate because they just have too much to do.
00:34I feel quite safe during the day but at night time definitely not. I wouldn't always go
00:41out in the night time by myself, especially in cities, unfortunately unless I'm with somebody
00:50who's male.
00:51Strange as it may seem, I feel safer than what I used to do. There doesn't seem to be
00:55as much crime on the streets. What I've seen lately is what there was at one time.
