Crimes are rapidly increasing in Western society.
According to the recent data issued by the Metropolitan police authorities of the UK, the total number of crimes committed in London from April to June this year reached 234 523. And according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), knives or other sharp tools were used in over 8 of 10 murder cases caused by young criminals in England and Wales, a further increase than before.
In Scotland, the juvenile crimes such as violence against teachers and other employees of schools are becoming more and more commonplace.
In May 2023, a 13-year-old schoolboy knocked a teacher down to the floor of a corridor at a school and a pupil beat a pregnant teacher to have a miscarriage and finally become disabled at a primary school. The local authorities reportedly have taken measures for the extermination of juvenile crimes, including providing the police with much money, but the crime rate is rising on and on.
In an area of England in July 2024, a 17-year-old man rushed into a drill hall where children learn how to sing and dance to injure two adults and 11 children and kill three little girls by stabbing them with a knife.
Meanwhile, there was a shooting incident at a school in Austria in June this year, killing 11 persons and wounding 12. Nine of the dead were school kids and the criminal was a 21-year-old man. In this country more than 30 out of 100 persons legally possess such firearms as pistol and rifle.
In New Zealand, too, crimes by teenagers are rapidly increasing, evoking social concerns. According to statistics, the cases of young people aged between 10 and 17 indicted for crimes in the 2023-2024 fiscal year numbered about 5 000, a 41 percent increase over the previous year.
In Germany, a woman stabbed persons to death at random in a public place and about two weeks later, another woman stabbed several persons with a knife on a road before being shot to death by police.
In Japan, there occur killings in succession. For example, a man assaulted his 3-year-old son to death, a 72-year-old man strangled his wife and a middle-school student stabbed an old woman to death on a road.
Such crimes occur ceaselessly in the Western world because people there are steeped in the misanthropic logic that “human must be brutal to others”, “I can survive only when I kill you” and “I need no one except me”.
People are devoid of human love and affection and their moral corruption intensifies—this is the reality of Western society.
