Jollygoodfellow Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I can only assume you are referring to my comment about foreigners and crime where I said a foreigner is perceived to be rich. The statistics in the article did not distinguished between nationality's or ones financial status as a victim but in worsening economic times crime increases everywhere.I wonder if the population growth figures are take into account when quoting crime statistics. Also maybe the citizens are becoming more trusting of the police and reporting more crimes than in the past. :hystery: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it more news reporting, or as you say more people trusting the police, who knows but as you said, as the economy gets worse, and it is predicted to be even worse in the Philippines next year, the crime will most likely increase too. I have seen first hand where the crime in poor neighborhoods goes up even more as things get bad, yet in first world countries with many car thieves and many cars to steal, criminals easily branch out to good neighborhoods. Where in most of the Philippines can we consider it to be a good neighborhood since we often see the poor living right along side the richer people.More caution might be called for in where we live and the things we do, that is about all my post was directed at since if crime is going up in Cebu, it is likely going up in many other parts of the Philippines as well.

Forum Support Old55 Posted December 9, 2011 Forum Support Posted December 9, 2011 Lee, I think you are right.... we do know parts of Philippines (for sure Cebu) has a serious methamphetamine problem today and that must affect the crime rate. I do not trust anything written in the local papers or published from PNP or other official sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
